Unfriendly Daedalus Poem by Raj Dronamraju

Solitude is not the only mother of invention
Invention has two mothers
The other one is disregard for others
Solipsism and disregard
Disregard takes up the mantle in the fight against distraction
Minimizing human contact avoids distraction

Enquiring into the condition of his stomach
Feel every acidic twinge and burning bump
Not so concerned about wings made from wax
A son plummets tragically and they pulled a fable of human hubris from this
The sun is not as callous as an uncaring, bloodless father

I constructed this labyrinth for you to hide in
Appointed a guard of superhuman strength
Flash forward to I killed the king and ended the threat of any future vengeance
I constructed a labyrinth for me to hide in
To breathe in deeply and become known as the genius of the breadcrumb trail
To cease the game and take stock of successful creations
