Confident He Was Cloaked
He was sure of only one thing
No one knew him here
He could recreate and reinvent himself
This was a face they did not recognize
No one would see his hair and think “Murphy boy” from over the hill.
He was confident he could be, say and do outrageous things without consequence.
Of course, he had forgotten about social media and how far it goes.
Mother, wife, and boss were all three waiting up for him after his return flight.
A video of his honesty had made it from Austria to the USA in incredible time.
His mother was irritated, his wife was furious, and he lost his job.
Honesty, and anonymity apparently no longer exist
in our high tech world
