Walker Percy as Pilgrim Hero

Fspchicago@aol.com


Walker Percy makes me laugh and enjoy life. I have passed his books on to so many people. The most recent person I have spread the good news to is my brother. Greg is a Pathologist in Atlanta who wants to be a writer. Perfect! I'm sure I have another "convert".

As a poet I find my best expression in poem. This one is for Percy:

Hero

He did
what he was supposed to do
and there are very few.
He did not
set his watch to time
but timed himself to God.
Then he answered outside of time
and in time found reality.
