comic: Daredevil: Born Again (1987); writer: Frank Miller; artist: David Mazzucchelli
I
am Spartacus
your name
the means by which society
uses you defines you consumes you
breaks you
defeated in a hundred different ways
name
home
pride
life
rib
by asset by frame by hit and run
only when the apartment was blown up
was the gangster-touch revealed
otherwise it was pure genius
the Kingpin
behind it all
but behind it all never
never destroys the space
that the individual inhabits
and when the individual is destroyed
when all hope in the individual is destroyed
the space is boundless
there is no fear
it is only secret powers that are free
they are only free
because they are secret
because no one knows they are there
but everyone inhabits and lives the space
they allow

Daredevil wormhole: and no one would know

power wormhole: have
society wormhole: illusion
space wormhole: the self
