Suburbanized And Simplified Kafka

______________________________________________________________________________________

The Institute of Inane Research was commissioned 
to "contemporize" literary classics in proportion 
to the modern consumer's sound byte attention span. 
Franz Kafka's THE METAMORPHOSIS  became


The Morph
Once  again,  leaf blowers  awoke Gregor Samsa.  
But this  time  he  was  not  angry because he had been 
transformed into a cockroach and rodents  have no feelings. 
The cleaning lady walked into his room and sprayed him dead 
with a can of Raid. 

THE END
The next Kafka page is here.

  1. Now Gregor's nose
    inhaled, not a rose
    and down to his toes
    he knows
    all things have feelings
