Default In Short

Hi Susan,
I enjoyed reading this poem: it's got a kind of swing to it. I'm guessing that comes from your skill in interweaving line and sentence. I like the directness of the opening line and the way you repeat it. I also enjoyed the points you made about short men. The only thing that made me stumble a bit in reading was the word "scrutinize." Somehow it seemed a little elevated from the rest of the language in the poem.

I'll remember this one. Thanks.
Barbara
