The Doll Incident
(Translated by Kevin M. F. Platt)
I see 25,000 defective Chinese dolls
Scattering, like energized peas, from several
Trains they seized at the border. They
Occupy cafes, bazaars, and supermarkets. And then
They set up field kitchens on the streets and start
Distributing broth made out of genetically modified soya
and plastic packets. The country’s troops are in disarray.
The dolls can’t be injured: when torn into pieces,
A single enemy is immediately transformed into several
Whole and unharmed dolls, regenerating their plastic flesh
In just seconds. When hit by a bullet, the dolls are tossed back a couple of meters
Only to rise again. Their bodies contain none of the organs
That are found in living beings. NATO rapid response troops
Take up position at the country’s borders, isolating
This now strange, infected territory. NATO special forces seize
A pair of dolls and hustle them by air to a secret laboratory
Near Munich, where after a series of rushed experiments
It is ascertained: the dolls are impervious to radiation; they can be damaged
Only by temperatures that reach 150-200 degrees Celsius. But such
Hellish heat would scorch every living thing around. Meanwhile,
In occupied territory, the dolls impose a harsh regime: all channels
Broadcast only black-and-white puppet-animation from the 60s
And the same in cinemas, theaters, clubs, and other public
Spaces. The cartoons are played without sound, with
Stylized Chinese subtitles projected in mirror image. The dolls have closed
All forges and furnaces, public baths, and any establishment
With elevated heat. Famine sets in: the prices for food products
Sold out of secret back rooms climb astronomically; November cold fronts
And downpours make life unbearable. But all roads are blocked
By cruel, undersized patrols. They are impervious
To frost; their little black button-eyes express nothing
But indifferent contempt. The nation is on the brink of extinction. The National
Salvation Committee, hiding out in the northern swamps, issues orders,
Proclamations, and appeals to NATO allies and to the international
Community. But the situation is completely unpredictable, and world
Leaders adopt a strategy of wait-and-see. Puppet-animation and Chinese subtitles,
Puppet-animation and Chinese subtitles. And patrols on all
Minimally passable roads. What can you do in a situation like this,
You fan of Walt Disney and the poorly behaved wolf in striped pants from your Soviet
Childhood? How can you prove your worth as a man and protector? Your brain works
Feverishly, but produces not a single workable idea. You paint blue
Rabbits and little yellow foxes, green fir trees, violet clouds on the stucco
And concrete of residential neighborhoods; you scatter color printouts
Of the Pink Panther. But then, one day, you see
A chain of people exiting a high-rise, pulling wood stoves
Mounted on ordinary garden wheelbarrows. And into those stoves
They mercilessly stuff the dolls. Word of the new weapon spreads like wildfire;
Home appliance stores and fireplace dealers are cleared out immediately.
Loads of stoves are dropped by NATO jet and helicopter. Long lines of people spring up
To comb through their own neighborhoods and beyond — to a triumphant conclusion.
Between every couple of people is a wheelbarrow with a mobile stove.
The people’s faces are covered with soot from plastic and radiant with joy.
By Christmas, it is mostly over. NATO troops and what’s left of the national army
Retake the country and imprison the last few hundred crazed defective dolls.
The Chinese leadership insists it had nothing to do with the regrettable incident.
Nevertheless, imports of plastic products are drastically reduced. Wool and rag dolls
Come back into fashion. Christmas is celebrated. “What did you learn from this incident?” ask
BBC and Al-Jazeera correspondents. “It’s taught us to share the warmth
And keep the fire burning,” the people answer. All local racial and ethnic
Conflicts are forgotten, and a new era of handicrafts and ecological thinking dawns.
The country’s trains remain equipped with a system of controlled
Combustion, making them unpopular among the people, and so they rush along,
Empty, with dully illuminated windows.
