HAIKUKAI

COMMENTARY by Jerome Berglund 

Chin: Within a totally peaceful and laid back nature

scene one may often (and perhaps it’s not always

intentional, just where a mind goes via free association

when staring at ink blots) compellingly decode and

discover the most absolutely scathing, pointed and

righteous, accurate and hard-hitting social critiques

and challenging of problematic patterns and dubious

dogmas! Not to mention being totally allusive,

irreverent, and iconoclastic by deploying perhaps the

most loaded and consequential kigo in all of haikai

history, and reminding readers both of the importance

of Basho's best poem (criminally under discussed

compared to the plop), how its condemning of

expansionism is just as relevant today, and the bulk of

the planet are considered equivalent to herded beasts

in the eyes of, indeed specific overt language

attributable to the depraved puppet masters serving as

architects to our entire social and political machinery

and infrastructure!
