(Inspired by Roy Lichtenstein’s
painting, Crying Girl)
what if I could paint my life
into a comic strip
what if I could grow muscles
super-hero huge
what if I could banish my bald pate
with a lavish flurry of the brush
what if I could choose any age
to garnish this basic body
what if I could charge the heavens
to grant every wish and whim
what if I could slay all fears
with a single slice of the will
what if I could splice these neurons
to the wisdom of Solomon
what if I could seduce all comers
to admire or envy or maybe even love
what if I could paint my life
into a comic strip
would I still cry sometimes
would I still feel alone
