I left that for the KDDI guys from Japan today.
They seemed lost and really quiet, steam gone.
I spoke with the middle-manager on the sea-wall balcony while we smoked.

The second he saw that I knew a little about Japan he lit right up and almost ran; he skipped. He skipped over to the other guys who were cutting and capping cables to sat. links and servers to other shit I don’t know anything about.

We culture-flirted for the rest of the day and I am determined to get fucking drunk with them before this is all over.

For the four years of misunderstanding and stereotyping and racism and fucking unsolicited loathe Japan dished me even on my most broken and human nights and would give me the ‘gajin-gap’ on trains and busses and I could have really used a random warm touch, and have my existence acknowledged by something other than shock or invisibility, well, I got a little somethin’ for you, brothers and sisters.

A gift.

A book.

Words.

Funny ones.

-Love Sid.
