Mr. Icarus - a thing of dreams, and if vodka is required, well, hey, you gotta make *some* sacrifices. Haiku - LOL at all of 'em, I couldn't choose a favorite! As for obscurantist rantings - I remember seeing one of my brother's college papers when I was in HS, and thinking to myself, "Good grief, do they grade on any of this stuff making *sense*, or on how many multi-syllable words and convoluted sentences you can fit into a paper?" Made me extremely dubious about going to college; in fact, I never did get around to affording it. I just read voraciously. It's seeing things like your example that make me even happier about that. I think I would've been tempted to do something horrible to my textbooks, which would've violated a fundamental law of the universe: You Do Not Profane Books! (Mom was a librarian. Heh.)

Love the Haikus (especially #4) There IS an end to Icarus, and he will be lovely and will make it all worth while. Love the Haikus (especially #4)
