In the poem, a modern man tries to imitate Icarus by taking to the air on wings and landing in a stream. The police have been looking for him, but they have not found anything. He has instead swum to the bank to start over. He leases a home, goes by the alias Mr. Hicks, and is well-liked in the community. But no one has ever asked him about his history, and he has never made an effort to tell them. He wishes he had perished instead since this life has made him a commuter of committee members and trains.
