when
      a
        poem
              meets
                     a
                      poet
                    a
              poet
        meets
      a
flower
          when
                a
                  flower
                          meets
                                  the
                                      wind
                                            in
                                      the
                            spring
                          the
                spring
          meets
                  a
                    water
                  snake
          hanged
                    in
                      a
                    barbed
          wire.
