Kabuki monstrosities of cute
White snivel, and children who sniffle as they walk.
The containers used for oil. Little sparrows
shopping-malls of Shinto reactors
tsunamis of Hello-Kitty schoolgirl ****
Pretty, white chicks who are still not fully fledged
and look as if their clothes are too short for them
tiny plates of aesthetically-arranged trivialities
meaningless Engrish phrases on T-Shirts
Last year’s paper fan. A night with a clear moon
One needs a particularly beautiful fan for some special occasion
in herd-like apathy, they download Anime Girlfriend App
the robotic allure of the Orient defined
To wash one’s hair, make one’s toilet, and put on scented robes
An earthen cup. A new metal bowl. A rush mat
cramped restaurant-bars with detailed replicas of food

PROMPT #9 : engage in another kind of cross-cultural exercise,
inspired by the work of a Japanese writer who lived more than 1000 years ago. She wrote a journal that came to be known as The Pillow Book. In it she recorded daily observations, court gossip, poems, aphorisms, and musings […] write your own Sei Shonagon-style list of “things.”
