    Oh. My. Gosh. This is pretty intense, a surprise, amazing ending. A great twist. What an amazing metaphor! Playgrounds...children..the sizes used,

    'where the children play when I allow them'

    that sense of control and the way it's portrayed is nice.

    It's a classic tale of the way people always want something that somebody else has, but they don't always know that the other person wants the same thing of them. I love it!

    This reminds me of the notion of God, particularly this latter day build-your-own-faith that people seem to have. The concept of being the largest character, overtly aware of a clear definition of weakness and need, plays beautifully into the structure of the poem. So much of it reflects human existence portrayed as childhood.

    Whether you meant this or not, I'd love to know. But I thoroughly enjoyed this.
