so glad I fell off the wagon right before getting on HN again. Much easier to make my eyeballs move this way.

STARING
By staring at the night
I'm lost
And I wonder where
My dreams disappeared

Once you manage that double vision, you adjust your focus until one eye's view shifts to the right far enough that the first column lines up with the second column. You can adjust your distance from the image to help with that. Once they line up, for me it feels like it almost snaps into place - at that point I can look around the 3D image without breaking lock on the lined-up view. You now have three readable columns plus two ghost-like half visible ones on each side, and those particular words stand out as if they're in front of the rest.
Ignoring the two 'ghost' columns:
'STARING' is in column 2
'By staring at the night' is in column 1
'I'm lost' is in column 2
'And I wonder where my dreams disappeared' is in column 3
'Wayne Myers 30th Dec, 2009' is in column 2
Obviously, all that text is in all columns. but those are the ones where it's been made to stand out in 3D. It also reads from top to bottom.
I wasn't sure if you were just having trouble with this one, or if you didn't know about viewing stereoscopes at all.
