The Thin Black Line
It is amazing the difference
moving a pencil line an eighth of an inch
makes in a message--like traveling from
Hawaii to the North Pole.
The pencil stroke is profound and absolute.
Under it speaks approval and agreement,
or with the tiniest elevation shouts
disagreement and denial.
​
Yes--it makes
all the difference in the world
whether you underline words
or mark them out.
