The Most Inappropriate Laugh
by dsdarlingm
For days we liased
Along lines and trains
Til we came upon a town
Wet with rice paddies
Steeped in Uji
This area is famous
He said
For centuries we make tea.
I nodded and drank.
To the sea
We marched slowly
Along busy roads
Crashing waves
to a small family shack
This area is famous
He said
Teriyaki and Eel
Eating a delicacy of spine
Into the mountains
Fuji welcomed us
To orchards
And High spirits
In the snowy dome
This area is famous
He said
The fruit basket
Drown in sweet wine
So we fly
To electric billboards
and modern architecture
The pride of industry
In hazy skyline
Hiroshima is very famous
He Said
Really, Why is Hiroshima famous?
For Atomic Bomb!
