MIND/BODY

If in your body someone else’s mind
Deposed your own, might you be redesigned?
If you’d been boorish, might you grow refined?
If you’d been cruel, might you then be kind?
And might a former laggard turn a grind,
Or might an uptight twit learn to unwind?

Since thoughts and bodies are so intertwined,
Our very molecules are realigned
According as our thinking is inclined:
So if you’d change your body, change your mind.
