Death by Murakami (A Found Poem)

green-felt pool tables,
chunky paperweights in
police interrogation rooms,
smoke rising from tall
crematorium smokestacks,
white flowers on school desks,
gas station receipt 
tucked under the windshield wiper,
suffocating contradiction,
endlessly spinning in circles,
I have no idea how long
it took him to die

 

 

Found poetry,
All lines are direct quotes from the last two pages of the second chapter of Haruki Murakami’s 
Norwegian Wood
