HARRY BAWLS

HARRY BAWLS

Dreams are constructed from the residue of yesterday. - Sigmund Freud

Grandad's name - Harry.

Dad's name - Harry.

A college friend - Harry.

A Marine reporting senior - Harry.

And in high school knew a girl - Harriet (father wanted son).

The Harrys bawl I never saw. 

Never. 

Last night a strange dream.

At the end - contrarily - Harry bawls.

The shock - something never seen - startled me awake. 

It's the only bit remembered.

All else fuzzy. 

No chance for more sleep.

So up! And into library chair to study.

What might the oneirologist construct?

In context to our upside down world and yesterday's residue of discourse - with friends not Harry - as to what's missing?

Perhaps homophone gentlemanly translated: moral courage

Like President - Harry.

Dreams come true, man.

Sob.
