2.Floating bamboo leaf boats for fun
3.My clumsiness
4.Makes for an awkward conversation5.
6.“You spout all sorts of
7.Worldly proclamations8.
9.But how are things at home?” they ask
10.I don’t have a response
11.I say I’ve got preparations to take care of,
12.I bow
13.And
14.Head home15.
16.Watching tadpoles in a rice paddy
17.I meet a crow couple
18.I speak politely to everyone I meet…
19.And the crows look me in the eye20.
21.It’s not as if
22.I’m fooling myself23.

25.“How do you really feel?”
26.I say I’ve got work to do
27.I say farewell
28.And
29.Head home30.
31.Sometimes it seems like
32.Everything I do backfires33.
34.I don’t have a quick reply
35.To their question, “Anything good happen this year?”36.
37.I say I’ve got that thing tomorrow,
38.Bow
39.Say farewell
40.And head home
41.This is what happened, that one day
