Subject: if you had one superpower what would it be?

"i'd be able to shoot lightning bolts out from my finger tips - great big Knowledge Network documentary bolts - and when a person was zapped by one of these bolts, they'd fall down on their knees and once on their knees they'd be underwater, in this place i saw once off the east coast of the Bahamas, a place where a billion electric blue fish swam up to me and made me part of their school - and then they'd be up in the air, up in manhattan, above the world trade centre, with a flock of pigeons, flying amid the skyscrapers, and then - and then what? and then they'd go blind, and then they'd be taken away - they'd feel homesick - more homesick than they'd felt in their entire life - so homesick they were throwing up - and they'd be abandoned, i don't know... in the middle of a harvested corn field in missouri. and then they'd be able to see again, and from the edges of the field people would appear - everybody they'd known - and they'd be carrying black forest cakes and burning tiki lamps and boom boxes playing the same song, and the sky would turn into a sunset, the way it does in walt disney world brochures, and the person i zapped would never be alone or isolated again"
