Thanks Haruna. No the l;ast line is not an error. I deliberately wrote "see the forest for the trees" rather than "miss the forest for the trees" because in the context of the poem's imagined drama, that's what happens. Hope this helps.

I wonder if the last line is in error. If it is not, I'd apppreciate it if you share the sequence of thought. Thanx again for you. Haruna. In a message dated 4/26/2010 1:07:47 A.M.
