Murakami's Jaguar 10.10.19 Poem by Douglas Scotney
Murakami's Jaguar 10.10.19
Like a Jaguar,
Murakami's
'Killing Commendatore'
(-tor, -tory, -toray?)
at 700 pages in toto
'squanders fossil fuels
like there's no tomorrow.')
For the sake of the planet,
I hope his Jaguar,
here said 'Commendatoray',
doesn't win the prize
to be announced today.
(Hours later:
he didn't win.
No-one of conscience
will buy Peter Handke.
That will comfort Earth.)
Nobel Prize 2019 to Peter Handke.
Menshiki, a character in the novel, drives a Jag
