Another Harry
This world could use another
Harry.
Another Harry who
unlocks doors of the heart
and
windmills of the mind.
Another Harry who
rescues kittens and writer’s
workshops,
admonishes injustice,
protects his family
and his country.
Another Harry who
squeezes pennies, holds onto
nickles
and quarters
and chokes the life out of a
dollar.
Another Harry who
sees into souls of lonely
people,
laughs in the face of
evangelists,
and lusts for earthy Bimbos.
Another Harry who
fights apathy with limericks
and a butterknife,
whacks a breath of
conscience into our indifference
and wears a hero’s hat.
There are many Harolds,
Hanks and Horace’s
and there may still be a few
Don Quixotes.
But what this world could
really use is
Another Harry.
