In an alternate universe I would be the worst wrestler in the state and high would have been the utmost miserable experience. There would not have been any post victory celebrations or girlfriends cheering me along the way.
Alternate universes can be great or horrible depending on a person’s lifestyle. Bruce Wayne and I would not normally think of what life would be like in an alternate universe. Life is great the way it is, why imagine the down side? Maybe, by imagining the down side you can realize the life you have is precious. Bucky Sinister describes “The Other Universe of Bruce Wayne” in his poem in great detail. I imagine he is trying to describe the downside of life and how everyone is might not as fortunate as Bruce Wayne. Instead of writing this poem in a traditional form it seems sloppy and tells more of a story.
In the poem Bucky includes himself as Bruce Wayne’s best and only friend. Bucky is there to comfort him no matter what hour of the night. He uses cigarettes and whiskey to calm his nerves. Originally Bruce would never rely on alcohol to forget about his problems or disadvantages. In this alternate universe Bucky stresses that Bruce cannot live without it. He could also be expressing how people in the world rely on alcohol when they are down. It is a weak trait that Bucky seems to try and emphasize. Towards the end of the poem I began to think this alternate universe was true. Slipping away from reality is not difficult. That is why it takes a strong person with aspirations and goals to make it in the life we live in today. Bucky explains to Bruce at his lowest stage in the poem that in another universe, he is loved and symbolizes justice. It his way of being optimistic, explaining that there is always an upside to life.
