On Monday Clark trips
Nearly falls on a desk
Superman knows he'd smash it in two
Deflects himself gently
At superspeed and lands beside the desk
Denting the wastecan.
"Ow!" says Clark
Superman doesn't feel much pain
Clark always remembers to limp
"He really is clumsy,"
Lois says to Jimmie
"Milking it," says Jimmie
Clark glows in Lois's solicitous concern
Tuesday Clark still limps a little
Superman tangled with Lex Luthor overnight
A kryptoknife
Leaves a cut on his left palm
Luckily the limp was on the left
A cane hides his palm nicely
His wince is real
"Call me gimpy," Clark jokes
"A cane?" whispers Lois
Jimmie rolls his eyes
Wednesday
Daily Planet Conference
Clark keeps running to the bathroom
His disappearance coincides with the
Appearances of Superman
At the distant earthquake
"Damn it!" says the boss
As Clark runs out again
Clark really does look worn
Apologetic
At the end of the day
"I always wish I could do more," he says
"You have to take care of yourself
when you are sick," says Lois
Thursday
Lois and Clark
At the scene of the bank massacre
Clark looks pale
"Nausea," he gasps and disappears
Lois watches Superman
Catch the bullets and the crooks
Clark's story reads as if he were there
On Friday
Clark is cranky
Lois has a date with Superman
"Sometimes Clark's jealousy drives me crazy,"
Lois says to Jimmie, "How can he compete?
But Clark, well,
there is something so human about him."
