Impressions From Japan(in Fayku Haiku)

December 15, 1997

Bullet Train

Hold still, small rice fields,

and I will take your picture,

lo, in moving color.

Dining-Car Encounter

Go home, my heart tells

Stockton Nisei, requesting

an English menu.

The Rainy-Time Thought

Look, small-fare taxi,

why do you always cruise the

other side, empty?
