Cappuccino and Superpowers
by Sergio
“HE USES MA-A-A-AAAAAAAAA-GAZIIIINES..”
That’s me singing. In my car. On my way to work. This morning.
The moment before I was focusing my attention on the car ahead.
Mind wanders much more easily when you’re still partially sleeping.
And when you are in a hurry and didn’t have the time to take a cappuccino to wake yourself up!!
(Believe me.. cappuccino, here in italy, is as fundamental as pizza. And.. pronunciation is: cuppootcheeno!!!)
And so.. my attention was fixed on the car ahead..
Can’t remember what happened next..
Maybe.. I thought: “if I only had an helicopter. No, a private jet would be better..” or something like this..
Being stuck in the traffic jam and wishing I had superpowers. The story of my life.
X-ray vision?
Hyper velocity?
Invisibility?
Why not all of them?
Yess! Me. A magician. Dressed in jeans and T-shirt.
That series.. what was its name?
Charmed?
Those three witches.. one on them was.. Shannen Doherty! Her bangs in “Beverly Hills 90210″.. still present in my nightmares.
I hated all of them in B.H. 90210.. filthy rich and dull 20-something boys and girls, who.. who are filthy rich and 20-something! Isn’t that enough to be hated?
I still remember the episode in which they FORCED The Flaming Lips to play at one of their parties..
The Flaming Lips playing for people like.. Dylan! and Steve! Aaarggh!!

That was probably the way I found myself singing “She Don’t Use Jelly” by The Flaming Lips, on my way to work.
I love The Flaming Lips, and “The Soft Bulletin” is my favourite.
But, I mean, this is 1993.
And wayne coyne has no beard. but magnificent tangerine hair.
