Me and Kafka's Niece

When I woke up this morning 
I was not in my bed.
I found myself instead
Inside Franz Kafka's head.

He started Metamorphosis,
I thought, 'What is this?'"

There was no panic
I just sat back and watched
A master at his craft
Until my plan was botched.

He noticed me 
Inside his head
As he finished up.

He sneezed me out as
I rolled down his pen and
His niece sure picked me up.

We've lived together, happily,
Me and Kafka's niece,
Ever since that one weird day
I shot out of Kafka's sneeze.
