The Old Ungenerous Man Refrains from Eulogizing Someone He Neglects to Understand

"Craig is gone," someone conveys to the old man who always made it clear he failed to value Craig. The old man wants an audience so he can claim he's said something. He begins to tell a group of friends he felt he'd failed to help Craig. He tells a story that reveals Craig had struggled, and the old man could not see what could be changed. Nothing did change especially, but the old man enjoys telling the tale of a failed man with whom he was acquainted. Those who mourn Craig share the story of how he went out of his way to do a task despite his broken arm to help a friend who needed what he knew to do. They picture something deeper and more lasting than mistakes that help them picture an unlikely sainthood they decide is real to honor and to cherish their friend Craig.

Pale Male

He speaks into video microphone as though it were a nest of mirrors. Throughout his engineering presentation, he drops names, while whining that he cannot make his way through the bureaucracy.  At some point midway through this keynote he says, "standard of deviation" as though this phrase existed. I think he may have absorbed some concepts that morphed into misnomers from a colleague enrolled in statistics classes. A pale male, our keynoter might have passed these classes, but his insecurity keeps showing. He declares he wants to make change. Clearly no one has handed him a bill.

He held in mind a video of his reign as the supreme leader of all living and non-living beings with a self-replicating acclaim for his greatness. He ordered a yearly jubilee year of his being crowned the greatest of the great ones, during which marching bands from every corner of the earth would appear in full regalia performing brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments to perfection. No level of expenditure would be enough; each successive annual celebration would exceed all prior extravaganzas. He harped on his deservedness wherever an audience would emerge. When at last he had persuaded a sufficient number of weary listeners to heed his call, the first of many celebrations came to fruition. To his dismay, the musical assemblage consisted of 1,000 flutophones, white plastic flutes the young players could clean with soap and warm water and afford.

The Truth Has Scars and Needs a Coat of Paint

He has a personality the size of mainland China. A heart twice that size, if either could be quantified. Everyone he knows loves him except the one he loves the most. She tells her friends, "Why would I love him? Look how much he does for me now. How could he do more?"  Each day he wakes up dreaming she'll return. Each night he knows his dream has not come true. He hopes for better the next morning.  His friends don't want to say anything. They know that if they did he would be sad. The truth has scars and needs a coat of paint. Why won't anyone do something? They've all learned to tell themselves, "He has to want this change of heart; we can't do it for him." Same convenient excuse for those who face a drunk and lack the courage to confront. Convenience and comfort keep the world complicit.  One morning on a whim he glances in the mirror and recognizes a young face hidden behind the wiser eyes. He feels the urge to protect that child and learns
