The Last Line


The line, feeling inadequate, multiplied by a factor of five.
The envious field mouse admired the elephant’s poweful size.

The checkbook, line for line and needy, sought balance in life.
The forest fire set ablaze aquired an insatiable appitite.

Beside himself, the psycologist lost his inclination to analyze.
Magnified ten times, you and I outgrew our ability to empathize.

Robert Frost would have devised a rhyme for this poem’s last line.
I am no Robert Frost, but I do admire the elephant’s powerful size.
