Elucidating Questions

I want to go back to Japan

日本に帰りたい

But would it even be the same?

Has memory coloured my vision?

Is it tinged by want to be there?

Was it really so much easier to exist there?

Do I remember or do I want to?

It’s a question of the accuracy of memories

And years have passed

Maybe they’re just as entrenched in this culture war

I wish I had gone into hiding

Just stayed in Japan forever under the radar

Man I miss being able to express myself

One language

Especially when that one language is English

Is not enough

It’s not enough

I want to learn every word

I wish there was a place on this Earth that called to me that I could trust to be as good as I remember it

But Acadia is gone

Acadia is gone

And nothing else holds up to my own hype of it

I’m always wide awake
