today he went
for a morning walk
then stopped to rest
in a hotel lobby
spent the afternoon
staring at the ceiling
observing dust motes
floating in mid-air
later at the funeral
the priest uttered platitudes
about a guy who “cherished his anonymity“
before vanishing without a trace
Epitaph for Mr. Jones
farewell my friend
