Subway Icarus

A boy of 14 summers long thought he could fly.

Transverse L train tracks. His momentum stopped by 3rd rail and oncoming train.

Leftover burnt parts carefully wrapped in a shroud encased in pine box. Neatly packaged and wrapped in time for the holidays.  A gift his mother could not accept.

Dance of the Dead.

Fears are paper tigers.  (Amelia Earhart)

Sometimes you should be afraid. Fear can protect you from doing something possibly fatal to your existence!!
