comic aspirations

by Fred Aiken

after reading comic books all throughout my childhood,
i finally decided to pick them back up,
only to realize that i wish i had become a comic book artist,
or maybe even a comic book writer, illustrator, promoter, editor, or something,
just something to do with comic books,
and perhaps if i had,
then i could have been happy with my life,
though i might just be kidding myself
