Life Without a Net<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They said \u201cYes\u201d to life
\nIn every present
\nEstrange as it may seam
\nLife is awe ways live
\nAnd there is no
\nDress rehearsal
\nAn eternal youth
\nBorn first of awe
\nEvery second
\nEffacing nets
\nPositive and negative
\nAnd sum times chasing
\nBig fat zeroes
\nEnchanted
\nToo fine my weigh to sum
\nI AM
\nHomme

\nI go
\nAs spirited aweigh
\nIn an art bared deep
\nIn my flesh
\nAs won
\nWith no need of nets
\nPositive ore
\nNegative
\nMine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
