Shikataganai (That's The Way It Goes) ... Poem by RIC BASTASA

(i got to scramble your words
to build a poem which may not be a poem at all,
who knows what a poem is?

chopping a celery and
putting it in the middle of a
salad,

pouring hot water to a coffee
inside a porcelain cup...


to qoute:


I cannot help but smile
at the fine touch of wit
mixed with irony bits.

I may know well that
wakarimasen

Get it often when people
try to avoid further discussions

may just take the

I don't know
into their arms,

holding tight to those words
as there would never be
another chance
to find another ways
to solve a problem..
