On the Tokyo Subway

Tokyo No Chikatetsu

“Godzilla!” the subway sways
bouncing sideways.    quiet.
bonsai ears cultivated,
thoroughfare of sentient earplugs.

jolted, jubilant hilarity

“SHH!” teeth hush too loud
drunken, diabolical boredom

“Godzilla!” with more intensity.
brilliant windows, Japanese
contortionists amuse bad
very bad               Americans
