Enjoyment is not enjoyed
No sweetness to taste
Only trouble brews
to waste another day
With something to complain about
Opportunities to be disgusted
Everything is not okay
Sad lamb chops, defrosted,
Can't be had tonight
Without vegetable accompaniment
So chops go back in the freezer
And a book of poems with sake
beneath the cherry trees
becomes wet with joyless distraction
between two vans being parked on the street.
Will Kenkō dry from the water spilt?
