Into every house Must A door open And then, Behind you, Will It shut. Come & go As you please. It will be The same Before & Aft Unless U R one of those Folk Who can enter A Revolving Door Behind Someone & Still Come out First. ~ D.E.

The Ghost of Kafka walks
(not stalks)
The streets
Of Prague.
Prague,
(The place he would/could
Never leave
Until the last
Half year of his life)
He described as:
“The little Mother has claws.”
Which she did.
For him.
He managed
(In the last half year of his life)
To escape to Berlin
During one of
The
Worst times
Anyone could live
In Berlin
Until the end of the
Second World War.
But
That was years
Away.
But he escaped
With a young
Lover,
Which made things
So much
Better.
But his Ghost only
Walks
The streets of
Prague
Whereas
Kafka’s Ghost
Stalks
The rest of
The World.

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. For his first chapter he decided to write about American churches. So, he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando, thinking that he would work his way across the country from South to North.On his first day, he was taking photographs inside a church when he noticed golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read “$10,000 per call.” The American, being intrigued, asked a priest strolling by what the telephone was used for.
The priest replied that it was a direct line to Heaven and that for $10,000 one could talk to God. The American thanked the priest and went along his way. |

{I wrote this after Donald Trump was elected President of The United States of America. He is still in place.
Today an article popped into my news stream entitled : “Trump Has Franz Kafka Spinning His Grave”. You can find it here: https://www.laprogressive.com/trump-has-franz-kafka-spinning/
So, in honour of Kafka (and I have visited his grave), I’ll play it again, Donnie.}

~ Frank. Welcome to your world.
~ Thanks, DT. I’ve been living it all my life.
~ I’ve taken some pages out of your books, Frank.
~ I did try to get them burned.
~ You didn’t try too hard.
~ Well – no.
~ You know – neither did I.
~ I know. They all ran to your tune.
~ They did.
~ You were the Pied Piper of Havoc.
~ Worked like a charm, Frank.
~ Yes, DT – yes, it did.
~ They thought I was a bug.
~ Yes.
~ But I turned them into bugs.
~That you did, DT. And turned them against each other.
~ Yes.
~ And stood back, and watched.
~ Pretty well.
~ To the victor goes the spoils.
~ I was astounded – believe me.
~ And they keep making the same mistakes.
~ I know, Frank. I’d laugh if it wasn’t so funny.
~ The one-eyed man is King in the land of the Blind.
~ Yes, Frank – yes. But you know what?
~ What?
~ I’ve got great vision in both eyes.
