Light years to come home


This is one of many small poems in a tiny, handmade booklet I have. The poems are hand printed and photocopied. I've had this for a year and a half.

I got in when my third job in Japan fell through and I was in the rush of a new job hunt. I'd broken up, once more, with Wataguy and was reeling. One night I met up with my tattoo artist for an indian dinner, and as I waited at Hachiko

From Mar. 10th, 2008 at 10:36 AM, I blogged here

A Japanese man with near flawless English (slightly European sounding)
came to talk to me. I tried to blow him off, thinking it was simply
"talk to the foreigner" stuff. He gave me a collection of his
photocopied haikus and asked for money because he's homeless, and I
gave him some. I don't usually give cash, but in Japan I am rarely hit
up for it. He was pleasant to talk to and I found that being asked for
cash bothers me less than having someone who just wants to waste my
time making painful English small talk with the foreigner. The
mini-book of haikus wasn't half bad either. I figured I could use some
good karma, although in the scheme of things I know 8USD of karma
isn't much.

Other poems include:

Suddenly dozing
In my uncertain shelter
Build all by myself

and

A torrential rain
Pushing man into a pub
To keep him drinking
