Fortuitous Poem by Barry Mazur

The first time
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Opened Kafka’s The Metamorphosis,
He was a teenager,
Reclining on a couch.
Upon reading

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect…..

Garcia Marquez fell off his couch
Astonished by his revelation
That you were allowed
To write like that.
