    The scale

    There is always
    that brief moment
    of hope
    and
    anticipation
    before
    the numbers
    reflect
    the reality, unchanged.

    There's always a certain anxiety during the short pause after punching in the numbers for a problem in a calculator or any kind of tabulation program to summarize the math... When the last digit is entered, and you click =, or Enter, the results are forthcoming... Every H&R Block visit is a mystery when you walk in... Reality is the tale of the tape when you walk out... Another good, short write...

    Thanks!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
