National Poetry Month’s Poem-A-Day 30-Day Challenge: Day 27
DOOR HANDLE
Glen Campbell once sang
that nice guys get washed away
in the snow and the rain.
I suppose since then many
a seeker of the open door
have resorted to money or muscle
or some manipulating hustle. I still vote
for kindness as the stronger force
to unlock the future, just as the gentle
blade of grass defies its grave
of concrete as a matter of course.
