&quot;Life&#039;s like a novel. With the end ripped out. The edge of a canon. With only one way down.&quot;<br /> -Rascal Flatts (Stand)

A name is
A fish out of water
Trying to fly
Falling to create a crater
That will birth a flower
And a ladybug.

It crawls away
To be eaten
By a smiling frog.

It swims in distant oceans
Dreaming of the sun
But getting an old shoe
Which it crawls into to hide
From it's brother.
