The Office Achiever
He fancied himself a jockey
riding the backs of many
on his way to the top spot.
The Malcontent
He fancied himself a botanist
dropping seeds of discontent
in every conversation he joined.
Two-Faced
Adept in two careers . . .
meteorologist and politician.
A pinch of fog blurs reality
wearing either suit.
The Planner
Architect by trade
he drew blueprints for his life.
Meticulous plans.
Until she walked in one sultry night,
right angles upset by curves.
