sunset
I've spent many sunsets
sitting in Mister Donuts
waiting for something to happen,
but nothing ever does
but nothing ever will
unless
I take it upon
myself
to get off my butt
and ask for that
God Damned
Refill
(From an Explanation of Japan)
iv
Nature
mukashi mukashi
the forest has a once
upon a time
aroma, the minka
farmhouse, with blue
green thatch
and a grove of bamboo
after the rain
has water droplets
like Crashaw's Mary's
tears, you can see
the whole of Tokyo
in them
below on rotting wood
grow shiitake mushrooms
like the kind that are found
in supermarkets
and the eye follows
the line of trees
to the sky where
a digital camera's
lens looks down
birds like anime
hang and jangle
like key rings
and the beauty
of this rare moment
of being completely
alone
at one
with Nature
reminds one of Walt
Disney, does it NOt
and there is nothing
but the Call
of the mobile phone.
