A man said to the universe

A man said to the universe:
"Sir, I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
"A sense of obligation."

I have no idea. Apparently, a poet. I got it off someone's personal website in a list of favorite poems. I saved the page this one came from as a doc file, and it has about 5 others by him. Would you like me to email it to you?

I love it too, btw. :) It sums up so many of my philosophical opinions.

Neat site, thanks for the url... He's an interesting poet, sort of depressing, actually, but that's not a bad thing.
