Lifepoems

Japanese trains run on time;
suicides don’t block the line
and the seat have warmers built in
—but locals won’t talk to the Gaijin
Japanese love their porn
anime and manga too;
apparently schoolgirls in panties
are made for salarymans’ fantasies
Streets are ordered but chaotic;
the buildings tasteful but shambolic
and if you don’t speak the local dialect
—you get no respect
Alcohol’s in vending machines
people smoke behind glass;
quiet beggars dressed in white
show some priests still have class
but there are too many oddities;
boxy cars and allergy trees
weird game shows, and
masked sycophants
politely bowing to their knees
among neon and smells to please
…so I still don’t get the Japanese.

| Japanese culture can go to extremes - hentai schoolgirls in porn to the overbearing bowing and subjugation of females. Encapsulated nicely here. Aliopterix. |
