I just wish I could fly
Is that too much to ask?
Some mutation, evolution, or comic-book lab disaster
I wasn’t a nerd in the comic-book sense
But I watched the X-Men
Hoping one day I could fly
Sunday morning cartoons included a dose of
Animal Planet learning about peregrine falcons
And Thunder Cats, Storm’s thunder blasts
She could kinda fly
I just wanted to soar
Be in the sky and travel the world
I’m ok without superhero strength
I’d put on the Foo Fighters and sing
“Make my way back home when learn to fly”
With wings, levitation,
A mutation, gear or other instrumentation
It’s 2021, where is my jetpack?
