Sometimes, you just need an upgrade.
I’ve been shaving my head more lately
so my dome gleams more frequently.

I don’t mind looking slovenly,
but I notice that this process shaves years
off my appearance.
The receding hairline disappears
when the hair growth is gone.
Also, most of the gray is in the extra hair.

This is all old news, though.
What I really want to talk about is Paste-Pot Pete,
the Marvel comics character
who used to fight the Human Torch.
A C-Grade loser: you could tell by the name.
But he changed his name to the Trapster
and he joined a team called the Frightful Four,
and he suddenly seemed like more of a menace.

He became more of a B-grade loser,
but still: an upgrade!
Simple changes can fix things up.

Consider that, next time,
maybe, when thinking about toothpaste
or something.
