The World Is Flat

And so begins the poetry from my Sophomore year of high school.  It's 1995 and I am fifteen years old (I did not turn 16 until July).  I did not keep the assignment sheet, so I don't know what the assignments were for this Poetry Unit.  So here we go!
From what I can tell, this one is supposed to be some sort of split poem format.  I am trying to get it right, but it's not that easy.  Kurtis (that guy I married) tells me I need to create tab stops, and that I can't do that in HTML.  He would know, so we're trying something else.
