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
