.THIS HAND AND MORE.
Sometimes it feels
Useless to put my
Blood on the canvas
For the crowd to
Examine when they
Don't even know what
They're looking at.
It's alright as long
As there are a couple
Eyes who see the layers
And the sides.
What keeps me pushing
Upright is the small
Chance and a few good
Swings left.
Most of this is for
Myself and parts
For my peoples in
The gutters, for
The anxious souls
In corners,
For workers,
Pornhub amateurs,
Left field creators,
Lonely masturbators,
Those who sacrifice
Their comfort,
Deep thinkers,
Loved ones and
Lovers, past,
Present, future.
Some forget this
Is more than literature
But this hand hasn't.

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
