I Am Who I Make Myself

For deer Icarus

Not at.

The 1905 psychological or psychiatric

Or whatever

Dictionary

Started with you

And misunderstood

The whole

Point:

If you’re gonna get absolutely flying high?

Set, setting, and some sense in setting up:

Lock yourself in your apartments

With shiny prisms

And the sound of the ocean

So you don’t

Do something stupid

Like get sunstroke

Or drown.

And bring a snack

And a towel

And hopefully

A friend

Who isn’t on the same level

Phew

But

Just make sure

First

That they are

Safe.

Need a reference?

Tolkien nailed it:

Samwise

The brave.

And that poor gardener

Is doing some hard work

Making sure

The apartments

Are on the ground floor

In case you decide

You can fly.

Well

You can start

From down here

And we’ll see how far you get

Before we catch you

Again

And again

And say:

We have words

If we could all

Just join hands?

It’s ok.

In a second

This mind may just play

In some other metaphor

But

On the inside

We’ll all stay

Barbed wire polite.

Eh.

And edit what hurts back

Because

I needed a record

I existed

Somewhere.
