“Surely, everyone waits for some hero” makes me think of “some women wait for Jesus / some women wait for Cain / I stand here at my alter / and hoist my axe again”, one of my favorite Leonard Cohen lines from “Last years man”
That's high praise ❤️. Great summoning of Leonard ... makes me think of his first poetry collection "Let Us Compare Mythologies" as well which fits neatly into the world of this poem.

Thank you!!
😂.
“Last years man” also includes a reference to Bethlehem, but I believe Leonard had to cut the Batman reference out.
