The Gratzi is a hard poem to read. It’s taken me years, but I finally gave up on ever getting it and released this reading disguised.

The Gratzi
Main Content
I’m walking down Main street
when, at the Gratzi,
Frank Sinatra tells me
“everybody has
the right to be wrong.”
He’s right. It’s a good thing to keep in mind,
but I seldom do.
It’s hard when you’re
the one being wronged.
So, I keep walking.
He keeps carrying on,
but I don’t understand what
he’s saying. I’m busy being
worried about being wronged.

The Gratzi
I’m walking down Main street when, at the Gratzi, Frank Sinatra tells
me “everybody has the right to be wrong”.
I smile and nod. He has a point—it’s a good thing to keep in mind,
but I seldom do, it’s hard to when you’re the one being wronged.
I keep walking and he keeps carrying on, but I don’t understand what
he’s saying. I’m too busy being worried about being wronged.
