With friends at dinner,
The issue of Woody Allen came up.
I found myself defending him.
Here’s why.
As children of the sixties,
We challenged boundaries
in love and politics.
Political correctness
(No substitute for
Political courage)
Stifles creativity
in thought and love.
To say “me too.”
To condemn and cancel,
Is safer than initmacy, audacity
Freedom and development.
Where is the line between
Sexuality and perversion?
Who draws it?

Right on, Harry! So well put. I’m with you on the Woodman. And more generally about PC vs intimacy.

Very provocative and thought provoking. We as a society need to continue challenging boundaries
in order to change our current culture. Loved your poem.
