Here is what they don’t tell you:
Icarus laughed as he fell.
Threw his head back and
yelled into the winds,
arms spread wide,
teeth bared to the world.
(There is a bitter triumph
in crashing when you should be
soaring.)
The wax scorched his skin,
ran blazing trails down his back,
his thighs, his ankles, his feet.
Feathers floated like prayers
past his fingers,
close enough to snatch back.
Death breathed burning kisses
against his shoulders,
where the wings joined the harness.
The sun painted everything
in shades of gold.
(There is a certain beauty
in setting the world on fire
and watching from the centre
of the flames.)

“I’m just going to watch Shrek in my head.”
As a little kid, I was SOOOOOO damn obsessed with Shrek.
I mean the kind of obsessed where I’d watch it over and over again days in a row. It was all I ever wanted to watch.
It got to the point where I had memorised it word-for-word, and beat-for-beat. This meant that, somehow, I could watch it in my head—timed perfectly. No fast forwarding, no skipping.
Now this was fine for car trips and such, because my dad would be like “Hey do you want some colouring-in to do?” And id be like “Nah, I’m going to watch Shrek in my head.”
Ocassionally my dad would ask where I was up to in the movie—just to check on me.
Youre probably thinking Huh that’s weird but cool I guess?
Wrong. Sort of.
It got so bad that I’d watch it in my head at night before I went to sleep. My dad would literally check on me at night, notice I was blankly staring up at the ceiling, and have to yell “Stop watching Shrek and go to sleep!”
I cant remember how this faded from being one of my abilities, but it sure was cool while it lasted.
But for a while, Shrek really WAS my life.
