Kafka (a poem)

I descended into Kafkas realm
a mire of dire surrealism Where steps went down and nighttime drowns the sorrow that we’re all participating So reading, no, perhaps devouring disbelieving this sad and souring but truthful, sad and funny tale i close the book, unfurl my sail And yet began another day the greyest day I’ve seen this May Wondering if I would see a vision some fantastical sign that this was a prison Like K in all the other stories but i see nothing, a world without glories A floral shop I pass on by I sigh, the girl catches my eye And grab a donut without thinking and fall into my mind thats ever sinking Tread along the street again I still don’t know just where I am and yet today some different streak a red car crashes in the street a flash of sparks, some noise and yet I watch detached and hardly fret and hardly blink and hardly move they say “it could have crashed through you” And something strange later that day when at last it starts to rain I look up and I see a bird and hear something I’ve never heard I’m not quite sure just how to say or put it into words today But the tree and bird that May, it seems was beaming it’s own specialty i sigh for once, a quiet space and time is for a time displaced I hear a voice, do not tarry hurry up get married I laugh at this absurdity disconnected from humanity and realize I’m in Kafkas dream Yet now I know I have some peace Repeat until the end of time a broken hearted romance rhyme a breath with no perception an echo, no it’s just deception knowing that i’ve seen it before breaking though the forth wall- that’s absurd and yet i get the impression that the true fact is I’m free at last as Kafka puts his pen to me I smile at him, and say, let’s see I don’t think I’ll do that today I’ll live beyond the printed page and maybe instead of trudging along i’ll make up a wordless silly song and so in this way i ascended or at least i seemed to bend it as far as it would go that day no ordinary day in May
