Question

15．The honking of horns （喇叭），as anyone who has tried to get more than a few minutes of sleep in New York will tell you，is one of the city's most widely enjoyed common pastimes．But Aaron Naparstek has had enough of it．On one occasion，the 31-year-old website developer approached the open window of a 4x4．waited for the driver to finish honking，offered a polite"excuse me"and then yelled"Ho-o-o-o-o-o-onk!"in his face．（The response was fierce anger．） Then a few months ago he lost his patience and threw three eggs from the window of his Brooklyn apartment on to the windscreen of a car honking loudly below．But the driver threatened to kill him．So，nobly，he chose the path of non-violence．He started writing anti-honking haiku verses-honku，he called them-and taped them to local lampposts：
Oh．forget Enron*
The problem around here is
All the damn honking
（*Enron_： a major American company that recently caused a scandal by going bankrupt because of corrupt mismanagement）
"Then this really weird thing started happening，"Naparstek says．"All these other haiku started appearing that I hadn't written．"Naparstek's section of Brooklyn is now covered in anti-honking poetry，written by everyone from scary environmental activist types to violent revolutionaries；
Patience slowly fades
Residents store up their eggs
That day is coming soon．
Inevitably Naparstek has started a website-www．honku．org-and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti-honking campaigns．Poetry，it turns out，can change the world after all （if you've got enough tape ）．Then，just recently，anti-anti-honking haiku started to appear，taped up by locals who thought Naparstek should stop worrying about honking and start worrying about starving children，say，or war in the Middle East instead．Naparstek has an answer for that．"Stop me if this is too tenuous（不靠譜的），"he says，"but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it's a force of nature，like it's beyond our control．But actually it's kind of like the honking-the violence is man-made．If we can figure out how to stop honking on Clinton Street，I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale．"He pauses for a moment．"I told you it was tenuous．"
