Black Water Swim 

Dealings with the dark deep waters:

There is sudden quietness in the madness

As you cut through Tokyo

As you cut through the cool air

finally

welcoming your sanity;

As you cycle through town

In the midnight:

Like an arrow

You flip and fold

And slice through the winds

And the land before and above

The waters

And you look into

The dark night waters of Koto-ku-

As you rush through the howls

And the particles of purpose

Sticks into your eyes

and

Blur your sight

You wonder-

The shiver of loneliness

Your body periodically feels -

As Waves

up and down

between

Your brain

And

Your heart

Until the oscillation calms

Down

To your throat

And you finally let out what you wanted all along —
