Quick nostalgia trip.

Would you believe this is the first poem that ever blew my mind, back in high school? Probably you would.


You Fit Into Me


You fit into me
Like a hook into an eye

A fish hook
An open eye

--Margaret Atwood

I'm not sure this poem works anymore, in the way it's meant to, in the age of Velcro.
