全てに疲れ切って…… 400年前も現在も変わらぬ世情。加えて、酷暑(摂氏40℃)に迫る暑さがアパシーを増幅する。こうなると、もはや怒る気は失せ、気休めに吹き付ける微風に身を任せるように軽快なジャズ朗唱でも試みるか、と作ったのが、今回の「ジャズ・シェイクスピア ソネット66」。ご視聴頂ければ幸いです。 “Tir’d with all these...” The world, it seems, has changed little over the past four hundred years. And now, with the scorching heat approaching 40°C, even apathy grows heavier. At such a point, one no longer feels much like getting angry. Instead, as if surrendering oneself to a faint breeze blowing only for comfort, I found myself trying a light jazz recitation. That is how this piece, Jazz Shakespeare: Sonnet 66 , came into being. I hope you will enjoy it.

Kamikaze Toasts
bY POETAQ
except for the haiku 'How pitifully' by Matsuo Basho
How pitifully
Beneath the warrior’s helm
A cricket’s weeping
—Basho,1689
Divine wind blew strong
In thirteenth century’s storm
Mongol’s fate undone
Time passes still cruel
World War II’s fierce battles
Kamikaze’s fall
Now divine drones soar
Unmanned weapons claim human tolls
Civilization?
Lending foes & friends
To merchants, death & interest
Same amusement, ends?
Sirs in the salon
Satanic saints raise their toasts
“Voulez-vous Encore?”(“Would you like more?”)
