9688. IN TERMS I CAN UNDERSTAND

IN TERMS I CAN UNDERSTAND
The witch hazel never works, and the
annoyance goes on : on the side of the
Graybar Building they have cables which
support an entryway, and on those cables
are numerous, nicely sculpted, metal rats.
Probably thirty-thousand and more people
pass beneath them each day, and no one
ever notices : it's a comical quirk, I figure,
thrown in by the architect and most likely
with the approval of the people owning the
building. On Lexington Avenue, it's the
Graybar Building and no one mentions 
the rats. I never know : In terms I can
understand, is it the rats over-running
the people, or (isn't it) the people
over-running the rats?
