Pt. II  

Epithet for a Former Boss  

“Cool-headed, starry-eyed 

A business general who 

daily sailed the raging seas of 

Sales projections and quarterly reports Tactfully whispered his battle commands 

Ever-sleepy but ever-compassionate, 

Monomaniacal and diligent, 

A pious clergyman who 

Guarded his words in a fortress of quiet nods and a unassuming smiles.” 

Pt. III  

“Son, boyfriend, sibling, friend 

A passionate, obsessive music-maker An slightly morose wanderer 

A lover not a fighter 

A caffeinated runner 

whose worn feet touched 

roads of dirt and gravel and roads of fresh asphalt roads somber and roads blissful 

Searching for meaning in mundane momentsand poignant sunsets.”
