Some thieves have burgled every house; The rich are sorrowing
Leafing through Kafka brought on this picture of a subdued afterlife.
Supine, roads sprawl so lazily That they collapse to planes,
The trouble started on the day After the day before.
Desiccated youth has bones like cork, So porous strong in cells.
A drunkard's guzzled several days, And staggering outside,
The crystals groan, whenever crushed Under a melting tread.
