  < like a fish in an aquarium >

[font=Courier New]
[/font]     the meaning of a word
     is not inside it
      
     neither
     is the meaning of this poem
      
     you're reading it
     right now
     from the outside
      
     i'd like to think
     i wrote it
     from in here
      
     but i was
     where you are right now
      
     so this poem is
     (though i wish it weren't)
     like a fish in an aquarium
