I THINK IT’S BEST TO FLY

I think it’s best to recall the chapter on Archaeopteryx. I think it’s best to believe that I was a bird in my previous life. I think it’s best to find sense in something like past life regression. I think it’s best to imagine wings protruding from my hunchback, while scrubbing in the bathroom. I think it’s best to burgle any ancient stone from a museum. I think it’s best to assume myself as Michelangelo and start carving wings, obviously better than being Daedalus. I think it’s best to search Da Vinci’s notebook for cryptic formulae to start flying. I think it’s best to feign flight as an Archaeopteryx and land in some prehistoric age on a new Earth.
