span is an inline element. inline elements are only as large as whatever
they contain. since the span is only as wide as your text, text-align is
meaningless. as far as how to achieve the effect you are after, I'm not
quite sure, aside from using three paragraphs and adjusting the top and
bottom margins accordingly.
