Life As a Boat (Haiku) by dougsoderstrom
Entering upon the waves of time, The wooden hull Sinks.

Up the ladder: on a more positive note
Down the ladder: Untitled

I guess what I am saying is, like the old Buddhist saying, in being born, everyone of us has boarded a boat that will eventually sink (as in everyone of us will eventually die.
