The Ret-Con Connection

The Ret-Con Connection

by Andrea Lena DiMaggio
For Lillith
 

All of us under its spell, we know that it's actually MAGIC
(like ohhh..that's so lovely..not enchanting or anything..you know...)


I've got fewer readers
and even less comments?
What can I do to succeed?
What besides romance,
might they find compelling?
And can I get readers to read?

I thought I was clever
but maybe I'll never
impress like the other one's do?

Readers want action,
with vast super powers,
that come from an author like you!

Someone suggested it
and then I believed it
that's what it's about, you see?
I wrote a musical
trying to be novel...
It's not what I hoped it would be?

I think that I get it...
they like super heroes...
with nice capes and finery
Some day I'll find it
The Ret-con connection
Transgender, the spandex and me!

All of us under its spell
We know that it's actually magic!

Did I miss something
oh I know..it's trending
It's popular now yes it's true
I might just go ahead
and actually try it
oh what's a romantic to do?

I'll leave it to folks
who write this thrilling genre'
and stick to what I love to do
I so like to read it
but don't think I'll write it
I'll leave it to writers like you!

La la lalala la la la la la la la!
