The inner conflict which nobody else can see
A soul’s yearning which has imposed itself upon thee
A black void, seemingly irreconcilable
A dissatisfactory life, becoming unbearable
Wanting nothing but perfection
But anxiety is the infection.
That which poisons and manipulates,
A mind which only contemplates…
Contemplate, contemplate, no calm to meditate.
A pure and fated love
But still,
It’s not enough.
Not enough, never enough,
Compelling us to give it up.
Try might the darkness
But
These lovers are artists.
Pure love is eternal.
Nothing infernal will stand in the way.
As time inches forward
The lovers patiently await their day.

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
