I've got to do something nice for myself today.
I successfully fought off the urge to stop in at the local
for (more than) a few street level beers...
The rainy night, and the tug of loneliness were oppressive-
I grit my teeth, held my umbrella tight in one hand,
and performed my Cat in the Hat balancing act
while pedaling my ass home-
I cut up a mango and called it a day.
Earlier, I went with my friend Hiroshi to a café in 2 chome Shinjuku,
to meet the owner and discuss a gallery showing for my digital art.
Things went well, but more time is needed to find a proper time slot-
A possible late autumn show...?
OK.
So why can't I shake this sinking feeling?
It would probably do me well in life to be more optimistic-
But a pom-pom girl, I ain't.
I once got some very powerful advice from a club owner boss:
What men want most is a cheerleader.
I know one girl sittin' here, that wouldn't be objectionable to one either...
Criminy, the sun breaks through...
I'm traveling in some vehicle
I'm sitting in some cafe
A defector from the petty wars
That shell shock love away
There's comfort in melancholy
When there's no need to explain
It's just as natural as the weather
In this moody sky today...
