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.”
