Who am I?

I am Superman!

God, how I don't wish. Can you imagine it?

"Honey, cancel dinner, I have to go save whichever idiot doesn't believe 'don't go down that dark alley' applies to him."
"Yeah, I know, I know. But what can you do?"
"Honey, no! That's my only cape, for god's sake."
"Great. And now I have to put out a fire too..."

In the grand scheme of things, I am just a simple cog. I put out metaphorical fires. I save my boss's ass. Sometimes I even save the planet (but that recycling crap gets real old, real fast). You've sat beside me on the bus. I've helped you fix that DVD you broke. (by pressing Source but we don't need to talk about that again) We've probably bumped carts in Tesco on a busy Saturday afternoon.

But you don't notice me.

Because I am as ordinary as you are.

The thing is that I notice you.
I've watched you for the last five years.

And now--I am going to tell you what I see.
