When a king is challenged

HOW DARE YOU

How dare you say he is better than me. Ive spent my life hearing you say "He is better than you because he has money, he is better than you because he knows how to treat a woman, he is better than you because he takes better care of his kids. When it was he who beat the crown off of your head. when it was he who addressed you not as the first female on the earth, but as his bed winch. When it was he who told you to put his daughters hair on your head then you would be beautiful. Do you know how dangerous it is to say that he is better me? Have Ive not shown you that I can turn bones and stones to dust with a flex of my arm? That my voice can shake your sould from your body? That my step can vibrate the earth which will roll your ankles, buckle your knees, knock your hip from alignment, rearrange your shoulder blades, and make your kneck fold as if a preacher were trying to cast out a deamon from your body. You dare to go against your king committing treason to the very one whos rib you were made from? Since you are with him so much, I shall treat you as such. So when I start to dustifie stone and bone you will first hand bare witness to what happens when a king is challenged.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
