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!
