Nakanomiyo

on the first day of the year, and here it is a year later and she is here!

momma san has fabric in her blood because she is like tamikochan,
she's got nakanomiyo blood
and that's why my grandmother was the way she was
and why my mother is the way she is

oh please oh please

and they bow in Japan
i don't know if they bow as much still
but why would they stop?

so there is this thing called  culture

and i can hear it in her songs
as angry as she was
she really did think she thought it was us

and now she looks back and she knows
it had nothing to do with us
how could we have created so much passion
or maybe because we were all hers
just us three

it was completely about us
but not knowing why we were so discourteous for example maybe
and not knowing how to translate her heart into English for us to know her

she said so recently
i wish you knew japanese

isn't that funny and sad

i feel i am learning so much
every day

about the world
and today in the movie, MenInBlack
he's talking to NYPD and he says
"You know what people are like..."




and they still do
at least i know they bow at the planes
which seems nice
like a prayer

and i felt like my prayer was keeping the tire from blowing up
and that was the way it was
but i didn't know it
i didn't know what it was
i thought it was bending steel
and i suppose in a way it was
