Poem: Japan Train I
Japan Train I
You know, I haven’t fallen
in love with you.
Alas, your stop is Higashi
and mine, Kansai.
And we have yet to
speak.
But my unanswered questions
for you are few:
Is that black wool coat
your favorite?
Will you ride your bicycle home
in this rain?
Did you notice me drinking
green tea?
Good bye, sweet one
(or should I say, sayonara).
