Assorted Heroic Words: Metaphysics

the branch of philosophy that examines the nature of first principles, the problems of being and reality, and the origin and structure of the universe

Marty had spent so much time
reading comics
that becoming a superhero
resulted in some
existential problems,
such as his sudden inability
to see himself as
more than a fictional character.

In some ways this helped him
and in others it got in the way.

He wondered if other callings
came with such pitfalls,
or if it was exclusive
to his peculiar new life.

It only got worse
when he started reading
fan fiction
based on his exploits.
