Off the Grid

They say he just fell off the map.
But laughing? Something like that.
He had an orange for breakfast and
that was the last we saw of him. An

orange? That’s all? Are you certain it
wasn’t an onion? But he was a good fell
ow. Many say. It became apparent over
the years, after his disappearance, that

there were some conflicts. Just generic
scuttlebutt. He had a soul? He was decent?
Conflict had transpired. That’s the brunt of it.
Was this the root of his demise? I felt joy when

he was present. Inspired. But to speak of demise
hints at someone worth remembering; of renown.
