Thank you to Editor Sand Pilarski for publishing my tribute 

to Graham Greene in The Piker Press.

Graham

He epitomized the brotherhood of his culture.

A caretaker of his tribe through non-dogmatic means.

A phenomenal actor, eminent,

with no pretension or ostentation.

He should have been ripe for the wolves,

but something in his eyes said

this silken haired man only needed

a handshake to make contract for his work.

He moved through films first as a slingshot,

later as a catapult.

He was a positive and gleeful package,

transplanted, in part, to the U.S. from Canada.

The fatality of his health leaves a vacancy.

The length of his age

should have been extended 

way into the sphere of things to come.

This guy had another Oscar or two in him, 

I just know it.
