-- 台所 (kitchen) by Banana Yoshimoto


This book is quite shit despite all of the hype around the author (apparently her dad's a famous literary critic so perhaps it's fame by familial association). Anyhoos, had to wait until the very last page to find this quote:

"I'll never be able to be here again. As the minutes slide by, I move on. The flow of time is something I cannot stop. I haven't a choice. I go. One caravan has stopped. Another starts up. There are people I have yet to meet, others I'll never see again. People who are gone before you know it, people who are just passing through. Even as we exchange hellos, they seem to grow transparent. I must keep living with the flowing river before my eyes." (p.150)

Especially now.
Must work on dealing better
with this constant flow.

*was going to start being all verbose & talk about JETs coming/going (J DON'T LEAVE ME!) but decided to write a haiku instead. :)

Another one:
Big bird family,
please stop shitting on my stairs.
I do not like it. >:o
