Someone told me of Icarus,
Flying with wings of wax
And feathers, curious.
Did you burn yours
With cigarettes or bridges?
Icarus landed in an ocean,
Lapped up by women, sold
To the sex trade, probably.
Now, he goes by Jerome,
Sits on a park bench playing
Chess with himself.
If no one sees you fall,
Where do you land?
