To Franz

Someone
 lost in a meandering season

Somebody
crying for all the wrong reasons

Somehow
married to a new in between

Someway
missing what others have seen

Someplace
the meaning stays hidden and waits

Sometimes
my wishes both early and late

Something 
infused in the moments I’ve lost

Somewhere
abandoned — the ultimate cost

Me and Kafka's Niece

When I woke up this morning 
I was not in my bed.
I found myself instead
Inside Franz Kafka's head.

He started Metamorphosis,
I thought, 'What is this?'"

There was no panic
I just sat back and watched
A master at his craft
Until my plan was botched.

He noticed me 
Inside his head
As he finished up.

He sneezed me out as
I rolled down his

GRATEFUL FOR JRANZ KAFKA

The older I grow the more I’m thankful for Franz Kafka
Who…I’ve read…and I’ve been told
Said:
Anyone who keeps the ability to find beauty
never will grow old

Franz the Veteran

First, baptism. Next, he vowed defense for the U.S. after graduation
Really, this kid could take San Diego's boot camp
At age nine he left Belize, then worked two jobs while in high school
Now he's back in Belize with haunting of Dessert Storm -
Zestfully, he built homes, does electrical and plumbing.

The truth is, duodenal ulcer won't stop

During a Franz Wright Reading

Normally the bagpipes are played
On green hills of Scottish homeland
For one but the birds to comprehend
Musical, instrumental, breath-held worthy
Genius.
But not today.
Today the crazy Saturday bagpiper has returned
To his worn patch of nature
In the midst of an overcrowded, overworked,
Tiny university.
In trying to hear I could not comprehend
In asking to hear, words would not be spoken
What is
