Tokyo

Everyone in this city looks tired

There's a policeman in white gloves

A whistle clamped tight between his lips

He's not afraid to use it

He is flapping in my direction

I give him an apologetic grimace

For the many crimes I have

Apparently committed and speed off

Through a crowd of tired tokyoites
