Before The Law:
Orson the W
recites
Franz the K

But the 
text is
"at the gate" 

he is not wearing  pin-stripe

he is  wearing
metal-stripe:

such is the 
wardrobe

of the guard 
at the gate

who is known all
around the globe

you might even say
It looks kinda neat

an image suggestive 
of  Rene Magritte

If  The Trial  had not been broadcast on  TCM  last night,
this page would have looked very different.

I only wish Orson Welles could have recited  January 1, 1920,
unarguably the most Kafka-esque day of the 20th Century
for more than four thousand American citizens.

The only way that argument is lost is by noting that
Franz Kafka's  The Trial  was not published
until 1925, one year after his death.

The next Kafka page is  here.
