The Other Christiana
On the eve again
of that upon
which so much now
feels hinged
how did he do it?
Franz Kafka, clerk
by day and man
of words by night
is it a switch?
Or compromise of needs?
A mouthless mind to feed
or mindless hands to mindless mouth
for mindless months and years
who wins the tug
of war
is it this and little more than
sitting somewhere half
between
‘success’ and that
unnamed scribbler from ChristianaÂ
