I


always tell you that


things are fine.


That amongst all the


craziness I
am


somehow happy.


Your constant complaints,


criticisms, and


naggings do
not


affect me.


Every time you


question I tell


you that I am
fine.

The author's comments:
This was a piece I wrote for school--the assignment was to play with the white space. So it was meant to be read all the way through, but also just the first column could be read on its own.

I believe the word you are looking for is fluid. They flow together. A great poem.
