A moody young man from Japan
needed work so he bought a sampan
water taxi to take
tourists on the lake
near the temple where soon
by the light of the moon
they could drink fine rice wine
from goblets sublime
debating the worth
of humans on earth
from tatami mats
while he sculled from the back,
propelled them inside
a cave. Homicide
an ugly event
but this student was bent.
He amassed on the shore
all covered in gore
their phones and IDs
for he could sell these
to pay his tuition,
stave off malnutrition.
A pirate was he
who ended his spree
with an owl, and a cat
in a runcible hat
on a beautiful pea-green boat,
all wrapped up in a five pound note.
