HTML is not a good format for the presentation of what I call form poetry, but with the help of the "preformatted" tag, I'll try anyway. This poem was written, evidently, about end of my last semester of college. (Again) It is dated 11:30PM, 13 April, 1990. The spatial construction, layout, what-have-you, is intended to have as much meaning as the words themselves.

My Bed is a place where
							I can drift off
												if I want
															to.

If I please,
				or am not pleased.
It is a spot of thought
							in a busy
										day.

For some, it is a ritual
							place of 
										retirement,
For me, it is two emotions,
								at two times.

At night,
			a thing which must
									be done.
In the mornings, 
					year-round,
					a spot of warmth,
					on a cold day.

But for a few minutes,		
							I am independent.
	
I can
		drift 
				off, if

	I
	want
	to.
