Icarian Flight
Workers work,
earning survival.
Hardly noticing,
nor caring
for Rush.
Tedious people.
Calm. Efficient
Quietly judging
His ascent
His wonder
His Fall
Remaining fastidious.
Never straying
from duty.
Never glancing
at beauty.
Never grasping
for freedom.
Only working
for subsistence.
Little value
for life,
for smiles.
Little value
for curiosity,
for venture.
The life
for them.
The Plowman.
The Shepherd.
Not Icarus.
