Before I Die

Ripping at my hair
Like a pissed off bitch

The air is a violent woman
But a woman I love

Flying torwards the ground
At terminal velocity

Adrenaline blasting through my veins
Faster than light

This is beautiful
There is no noise
No death
Only peace

The world below me begins to shake
My ears pop as I create a sonic boom

The blood pounding in my ears
Like the ancient greek war drums

I am twenty meters above the ground
Going 400 miles per hour

I spread my arms instantly rocketing away
Into the air once again

I'm a genious
They have worked

The skematics were correct
The bronze wings of Daedalus work

They will allow humans to fly at low altitudes
It's terrific

Before I die I want to create the wings of Daedalus
I will be just as much of a legend as Daedalus himself
