Grex Writing Item 18: A poem (rare)
Entered by steve on Thu Oct 24 02:00:40 UTC 1991:

   Sometimes I think our world is
     A Neon atom
       In a spec of dust
         Inside an empty fishbowl
           Sitting on a stool
             In a darkened stage
               Somewhere in Boston.
  Wrote that when I was in 7th grade.  The teacher didn't know what to do
with it and gave it back to me.

At least he/she let you keep it.

Sets up a recursive loop.  The teacher probably couldn't handle that.

This was long before the poetry cf. existed.>

lot of thought for a 7th grader.  i'm sure i'd want to see your 
train of thought now - older, wiser.  i'm not sure it'll be any different.
anyway, congrats on the piece. obscure though its interpretations are many
and one can dream. good work.
