The Emperor’s New Kafka

 

When an insect woke up one morning he found

Himself changed into a politician

And thus gatekeeper to Das Schloss, key clam

Through whom all arrival applications must pass

 

All shipping boxes to be checked for ticks

In a village that cannot be surveyed

Unescorted thinkers may not be seated

At corner tables in the Herrenhof

 

Many are desperate to be admitted

But few are desperate to be committed
