I have never looked
for Guy's name in
The Funerary Times
or Gestalt World,
Preferring to chuckle
on finding it
In unexpected indices.
Adroitest of scholars,
Impeccably reticent,
He understood the commonality
of
Socrates and oaken
tables.
It took two generations
for me
To comprehend that
the internal link
Between the elegant
poet and my blunt father
Was the purity of their
honor.
