Chinese ships enter Japanese waters over island dispute
The Telegraph, 14 September 2012
The Chinese fleet
at station off his windward bow
the fisherman
squints the salt glare from his eyes
dries his brow with his cap
and orders in the nets.
Addressed by the admiral of the fleet
in staccato accented Japanese
the fisherman confesses
not to know the way to Diao Yu
then quickly suggests
not to detain his guests any longer
than need be, to please enquire at Senkaku
half a day's sail south-west.(c) 2012 Slush Poet
