MODERN QUIXOTE

His rusted and dented armor

Does not fit

The corporate dress code.

Nobody travels by horse any more.

Windmills and dragons

Are in short supply.

And damsels,

Even distressed ones,

Are too liberated to need knights.

 

In a world where

Poetry lacks rhyme and form,

He tilts on,

The unrepentant romantic,

Unwilling to quit the quest,

Knowing if chivalry dies,

So do we all.
