''The smallest the same
and the largest the same....
''I depart as air
''I shake my white locks
at the runaway sun
''I effuse my flesh in eddies
and drift it in lacy jags.
''I bequeath myself to the dirt
to grow from the grass I love
''If you want me again
look for me under your boot soles.
''You will hardly know who I am
or what I mean
''But I shall be good health to you
nevertheless
''And filter and fiber your blood.
''Failing to fetch me at first
keep encouraged
''Missing me one place search another
''I stop somewhere waiting for you.''
Oh, God!
Simon wrote his own obituary...
...and he asked me to read it.
''Simon B. Wilder bit it on Wednesday.
''He saw the world out of the porthole
of a leaky freighter...
''...was a collector of memories...
''...and interrupted a lecture at Harvard.
''In 50 years on Earth,
he did only one thing he regretted.
''He's survived by his family!
''Jeff Hawkes...
''...who always remembers to flush.
''Everett Calloway,
who knows how to use words.
''Courtney Blumenthal...
''...who is strong...
''...and also knows how to love.
''And Montgomery Kessler...
''...who will graduate life with honor...
''...and without regret.''
Mr. Kessler.
A thesis advisor, I have always presumed,
is supposed to give advice.
Especially on the idea of the thesis.
I'm sorry, sir. I meant you no disrespect.
But I changed it because I had to write
about something I really believed in.
Your new idea is...
Naive is a kind word!
Foolishly optimistic might be
more the truth.
Are you withdrawing as my advisor.
No, I'm not withdrawing my endorsement.
I don't agree with what your brain
has produced but I...
...I admire its independence.
Not many people agree
with my ideas either.
I do regret that, because of your lateness...
...you have no chance
to graduate with honors.
Thank you, sir, for being a true mentor.
Good luck, Monty.
