My dues

I owe a debt to Franz Kafka as do Philip Roth and Milas Kundera. His groundbreaking plot-lines opened another literary world, one of uncharted territory still being explored today. I worry that my story ideas are too kafkaesque and I should find other plot lines and structure if a story collection is to be complete. Other ideas that could turn into stories that I have interest in are Destiny, military history, science fiction, poetry, honor, westerns.

No Title

In my shorts the rain was coming down
heavier and louder
and harder

Under the trees
I started losing hope
of ever seeing the SUV
appear up the road

Instead the rain-forest
started to hypnotize me
into a dreamy state
where I hated nature and
especially the weak trees
