At first I thought the art of eating in Japan
Was an unconquerable mythology
Of sweet sauces polluting meat
Breakfast that smells strong enough
To wake the late sleepers
And minuscule sweet treats
that counterbalance calories
By washing them with patience
And the pure taste of green teas.
I ALSO thought that onions role
was to anesthetize the feelings
and to drown in tears the thoughts
against eating raw fish
and while i was humbly battling all of this
Sweet friends appeared and thought me
how To eat with chopsticks:
Grain by grain, cut by cut
Gentle and delicate
Restoring the balance
And The feelings too came back
