Cells packed
Like the Chuo line
Zooming past Tokyo metro station
I wander
and wonder
Cells packed
No room left
How they rearrange
Stacked
Like people
With a purpose
Get out
As soon as possible
And
Go home
Cells packed
As they don’t communicate with each other
Not really
My random
“Sumimasen”
Lost in translation -
There is so much lost in translation
Without the fluidity
Factored into
The rearrangement
Of the
Packed cells
I wander
And wonder
Over my dinner
Finally
My
A dash
Of dashi soup
Are cells packed
like my rice bowl
Do they communicate
Like the soup that floats over them
As I pour and pour
What if I pour when it is too hot
Dashi can cook the slice of chicken a bit more over the rice too -
What if cells hear more over hot waves
Slightly more differently than cold waves
Of fluidity
