Songs of a Tokio Greengrocer
(Haiku sequence)
Tokio Central
A bullet train fires, mushroom
Crowd, Hiroshadow
Alles verfallen
Axis old as love, pasta
Melon, cauli, fish
Ginza, people walk
Everywhere, street lanterns ignite
My vegetables
Don’t assume Basho
Azuma Bashi Poets
Free delivery
Seed of Edo grow
After Kyoto reclaim
Tall trees scrape skywards
Orders tomatoes
But streets have no names, so Yu
Tu gets potatoes
Ticket gets you there
Chikatetsu – walkway
Or apples and pears
Amidst Aoyama
And Ikebukuro lies
The real city, small
Diet library
Rice paper, turn lettuce leaves
Look, Sushi cook book!
Hana Kawado
And her sisters, Senso Ji,
Asakusa peach
Nartia welcome!
From Hameda visit friends
Take a fresh cabbage
