Cherry blossoms are falling
I once met a harakiri fanatic named Mr. O
And asked him "Who would you like to see commit harakiri
Among all the famous actors in Japan?"
And Mr. O said,
"Well, I've never thought about it . . ."
Then he folded his arms across his chest,
Looked up and groaned.
"Ummmm . . ." he said,
"I guess it would have to be Masaya Oki.
He jumped off the Keio Plaza Hotel.
I liked the expression on his face before he died,
So I can easily imagine him committing harakiri."


"How would you make him do it?" I asked, picturing him
Disemboweling himself in the clean white robes of Asano Takumi no Kami.
"He'd have to be naked. He'd have to do it
Standing up," said Mr. O.
"Where would you make him do it?"
"Ummmm . . .," he said,
"It must be in a graveyard.
The graveyard where the
Cherry blossoms are falling."
Cherry blossoms are falling
"Do you mean he is
Totally naked under his robe?"
"No, he should wear a loincloth
Tight around his penis,
Covering every erogenous zone
From the penis to the perineum to the asshole."
Cherry blossoms are falling
Random stupas line the graveyards
ha ha
"It's a little kinky,
But it will do."


"Will Masaya Oki die in great pain, or . . .?" I asked.
"Yes, he should suffer. He should be in agony for a long time.
Then he will die and become my double," said Mr. O
Who wore a tight white loincloth,
Stood up and disemboweled himself.
Harakiri should be beautiful, he thinks.
After all, it is the male aesthetic.
He thinks it should be cherry blossoms
He thinks it should be cherry blossoms
In full bloom
He thinks cherry blossoms in full bloom
Should fall
He wants to die while he is
Still beautiful
He will be sixty in a few years
He thinks harakiri is Asano Takumi no Kami
He thinks Yukio Mishima beat him to it.
He thinks graveyards should have stupas
He thinks harakiri should be committed
Under the cherry blossoms
ha ha
"I know, it's kind of sick," he said.
He thinks bushido should have cherry blossoms
He thinks samurai are always
Looking for a place to die.
I failed to hear
If his ancestors were samurai.


He thinks pain will become pleasure
If he trains himself
"That's why I'm training myself now," he says,
(masturbating)
I'm sure it's extremely exciting
To commit harakiri facing a woman
Mr. O says,
(masturbating)
samurai
(masturbating)
ha ha
(masturbating)
cherry blossoms
(masturbating)
falling
(masturbating)
It's really kind of kinky.
