Nick Romeo<br />
Zeit Heist<br />
Here’s a fact you never knew:<br />
Icarus did not die. He swam to shore,<br />
and continued his passion for life.<br />
First he plunged into weapons training.<br />
Then fought alongside Alaric I,<br />
Ptolemy Lagides, and Scipio Africanus.<br />
He took a hiatus from warfare,<br />
to ghost write for Shakespeare.<br />
But became unsettled and entered War War I,<br />
as a gunner for an Armstrong Whitworth FK.8.<br />
After the treaty he moved to the United States,<br />
and worked for George Remus as a bootlegger<br />
Decades later he was drafted into the Vietnam War,<br />
accruing the most confirmed kills in the Mekong Delta<br />
Once discharged with honors he wrote a book called<br />
Hope in a Scope and formed a biker gang in Lancaster,<br />
named Demigods on Hogs. They disbanded due to FBI<br />
infiltration and getting beaten-up by their old ladies.<br />
Icarus learned guitar and formed a freedom rock band.<br />
They played Woodstock and toured the world.<br />
From there there’s a gap in the timeline.<br />
Some say he suffered a bad acid trip,<br />
and lived in Guam for several decades.<br />
Others say he became a CIA operative.
