"shibuya" poems
Eleven thousand
three hundred
sixty one miles away
in a place I’ve never been,
you are thinking
of all the places
you have never been
or haven’t been,
some for seasons,
some for years.
A Paris pomegranate sunrise
from the Pont des Arts,
bright colours shimmying
at the pulse of romance.
The blood cell rush of Shibuya,
Tokyo at night among
a river of strange symbols,
blinking TV screens.
Prague dredged in frost,
feet-chatter on cobbles
past the Jan Hus memorial
under a cool periwinkle sky.
Glossy tulips in Bilbao,
metallic curves,
trill of syllables
by the teal Nervión.
I think of you, far away,
same planet, different spot,
the future washing towards us
full of scrambled images
and white noise,
a trickle of hope at your toes,
through my screen.

.*the cracks appeared with black pigeon speaks' video: shibuya halloween 2018: western nightmare made real... listen i loved this **** the whole internet counter-media commentary... but when you begin incorporating your competitor's styles of presentation, i.e. computing forever & paul, john.... john paul... watson... **** john paul watson... no... paul joseph watson, yeah... it's burnout... and all these internet commentators will be the drowning men forced to cling to a razor to stop themselves from drowning... that's not a defeatist statement, like i said: i enjoyed the content... but if it has become such a tedious... self-reflection retrospection of content... sometimes i'm like... **** on me... even i don't drink in front of a mirror, and talk the: mirror, mirror on the wall, like these chaps... dunno, maybe it was a momentary clique fetish... but sure as **** it's ending; which is somewhat, a shame... oh well.*
i'm sitting there, zombified for a a while,
and then...
SNAP OUT...
why am i watching all this internet
commentator ********
esp. surrounding replying to comments
in a live-chat stream?
what, is, wrong, with me?
nostalgia...
yeah... once upon a time it was
all fun...
but fatigue has set in,
the same commentators have become
demoralized...
plus i haven't had enough whiskey
and i ate a meal quiet late...
so i partly dozed off on the windowsill...
so if the content creators have become
demoralized...
had to branch out to LGBTQ
erm... FTIGMB platforms...
oh... right... Gab is down...
so while i snapped out of it,
i was like...
**** it, better get onto fixing the jukebox
and reading some book and ****

It was a shinny day
people walk around Shibuya street
People walk wear their own
colour of clothes
There is a boy
He look for his ground
He was lost in the shibuya street
People stucked at the moment
Come to help or not
He lost his way to go home
He lost his guadiances
He lost to a place he never know
His path was erased
He forgot his destiny
But, there is a man
Who brings him home
Lead his Pieces of heart
Back to his hold
A man who's prying on him
Shibuya street, a place that lead him
Shibuya street a place of his lost
Shibuya street a place of his guidiance

Again backward is everything… until, inhale
Peace in mind and body, trauma-covered veil
Reality is shared pain like Nobara meets Shibuya
So
Animated it is fairytale, feeling numb after,
Puff puff then imagine dragons

Akasaka, from
A moment of cautious hope,
Thirty minutes late.
Miyashita Park,
We held hands in Shibuya,
We kissed on the stairs
Aoyama, a
Day of Paris and queueing,
Opalescent nails.
Ginza after dark,
Octopus and old-fashioned,
A black dress, my suit
Ni-chou-me, lemon
Sours, Italian jokes,
Stumble home with me
Ebisu, in blue
After weddings and babies,
Pizza and a film
Shinjuku, a shirt
For warmer days, a night of
Sunsets and pasta
Meguro, two bowls
With dumplings and rice, a walk
Back home through the rain
Shinagawa, to
A place far away; promise
You’ll come back to me
