VIP

The thrill of looking at the menu
The choice could not be more clear

Chinese music wafts through the air
For the customers?  Or to kill the girls' boredom?

The girl next door from Harbin
The industrial wasteland that drove her here

A welcome like no other
I am truly myself

Pale pink towels washed a thousand times
The shower rinses away the day's memory

Intimacy purchased can still be intimacy
Friendship can cross language and culture

The most beautiful words in the Japanese language
Aomuki Kudasai

The impossible touch
What was life before this place?

A precious gift comes within easy reach
But then becomes craved, needed



April is National Poetry Writing Month
(4/6)
