Franziska and Me If Franziska says my whiskers are fine I take her opinion over mine Not that I want to cut them anyway Never mind some other day Nor is it ever a good idea to Handle such sharp things too much if you See clear through the mirror the way I do Seeing way too much that way But being there seeing she is who Knows what I mean I suppose having seen Where I have been having been there too Been through hell as well to see But wonder what is reality Seeing existentially As we do but as who know what we mean Being us seeing us in between Understanding me still she Says "Alles wird gut" and it will be If Franziska is with me Steven Curtis Lance   Illustration by Franziska
