Winning

Harry makes a declarative statement.
He speaks in declaratives.
His argument is flawed.
Best to pounce or suggest?

Now would be the time to risk something.
Not for Harry’s sake but for mine.
If I can work toward a crevice,
A small opening that Harry may ponder,
He might fall short of an epiphany
Yet find a path that allows him to reconstruct,
Discovering a way that offers an acceptable exit
That might reconcile with my conclusion.

This gambit might fail, “so what?”
Isn’t it time I rise above perpetual sophomore?
If I fail my ego might suffer.
If I succeed I will be insufferable for years.
