I wish I could be like the men of Legends--
Unbreakable flesh and bone,
Muscles of marble stone,
A statue with a leaf
Between my legs for modesty--
be Strong, I mean--
and
Have admirers at my beck and call,
Looks to make Adonis pall,
Hair of curly naïveté
Crowned with the laurels of wisemen--
be Beautiful, you see--
and
Known on Olympus and far beyond,
Kept in memories ever fond,
Referenced in stone tablet texts
And scrolls found lifetimes after--
be Remembered, really--
but,
above all,
Keep the Fates and Muses at odds
With wit enough to unmake gods.
