In the Museum of Last Words a film clip of Superman’s foster father is playing in a repeating loop. He’s watering the flowers at the side of his driveway. It’s a black-and-white day on a suburban street. The flowers look like weeds.
A girl rides by on a bicycle and after that Superman’s foster father clutches his chest, drops the hose, and falls to the ground. We hear his shocked whisper, “No!”
Superman with his superpowers is on a mission elsewhere. Too late, he will swoop down and take his foster father in his arms. His super cry will shatter worlds. He sounds like us, then – felled by comprehension.
