i still couldn't



if i had a cape i still couldn't fly
if i had a grape i still couldn't make wine
if i had a paper i still couldn't lie
         in sufficient quantities to satisfy the masses
if i had a wand i still couldn't cast a spell
if i had a pond i still couldn't be a well
if i could respond i still couldn't tell
         them what i think of them
if i had x-ray eyes i still couldn't see
if i had goodbyes i still couldn't be free
if i had countless tries i still couldn't be
         the right sort of right sort of person
