<center><h1>* Ant Farm * </h1></center>

<center> *This is the first day of the rest of my life..*

I **sail**
on a cloud
looking down,
observing life from afar..

How nice it is,
to float by,
*unnoticed*..
..*unaccompanied*..

There is no
responsibility,
just *wind*..
in my hair.

The **Earth** looks like
a **patchwork Quilt**.
Fields woven-together
by dirt roads.

The **World** is
*an ant farm*,
trapped in glass.

We are all 
under *sand*,
so..
we **_burrow_**..

Making intricate pathways..
a maze..
of our lives..

Even if
we reach the top..
there is still

*no escape*..</center>
