Tokyo Haiku




















Ohayo!

Now that we feel so naturalized over here, writing about mundane daily experiences seems self-indulgent and tedious.

So now I turn to haiku, which seems merely self-indulgent.




















Rush Hour


You pushy people

other times are so polite

Train mob crushing me...















































Day trip to Mishima


We ate lots of eel

and saw the fireflies at night

then took the train home















































Sundays at Zest Cantina


Mechanical bull

springs alive to buck and toss

It's Rodeo Night!



























Managing Visitors' Expectations of Seeing Mt. Fuji


Haze obscures the sky

With all this humidity

you'll never see it

















This one is Ross's contribution (he found my original composition to be offensive):


The Cavern Club


Japanese Beatles

John is perfect, and Ringo's

lucky to be there
