Standing Small Poem by Kim Barney
Standing Small
Rating: ★4.5
Sitting down, old man Brown
was tallest in the pew;
when he did rise, to my surprise,
he was the shortest one in view.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
True story.
In my home town lived a man with short legs and a long torso. In church when sitting down, he was 'taller' than anyone else. But when everybody stood up, all the others were taller than he was.
