3367

I woke up at some time this morning before light and was talking to myself in Japanese

Something about the darkness in the early morning being one of this season’s good points

But it just occurred to me now that half asleep me speaks fluent Japanese

Half asleep me did not used to speak fluent Japanese

I wonder if I can continue learning like I always did?

I’ll just become an anime character again

許して先生

That was a good title today

3366

Earth, Earth, Saturn, Saturn

3 being half of 6

The way it looks like it’s continuing a sequence of some sort

Yes, very fitting

A mirror which shows the looker their strengths? Or perhaps the opposite?

I can see him tonight

But I couldn’t last night

How fitting and theatrical

Always fitting and theatrical

Universe you are as or more dramatic than I am

And Happenstance

A tricksy thing

The best moments

The worst

I wonder why my sleepy self felt the need to learn a second language?

And when did it happen?

I remember so clearly touching down in Tokyo and forgetting everything

Like I hadn’t studied a day in my life

Maybe it was that tiny pride in me

You won’t catch me unprepared again

I apparently speak full sentences about the state of the season now

On the tail of a day I’ve already forgotten

A day I will remember

A special day.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had more than one of these in two months

How do I carry them forward without dirtying them with my touch?

If I put them in hiding I’ll find them, clear and crisp like walking into them

But I want to think of them

The human memory is so fickle and strange

If I wrap them up tightly

And only look from the outside

Maybe they’ll be clear enough for a future me to see
