Semi-Major Axis 1
I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.

Daedalus with One Wing

DAEDALUS WITH ONE WING

Wise Daedalus – with only one wing done -
fled before a mob
determined to string him up
and pinata the hell out of the man.
Running for his life,
he donned the single wing and,
triple-jumping to the cliff’s edge,
launched himself,
leaving the killers marooned.

As he made into the open air,
wing outstetched on one side,
inadequate flapping hand
on the other,

he well knew that all
the weight of science and reason
would not support him.
