I nodded off My a little of conscious Think about Altered States Hope into Levitation My spirit separates From my body I am flying over the field Feeling connect with my body Downward is green field But indistinctness and gloomy None any house and flowers People, river and timberline Obscurity My spirit body goes ahead rather fast On the dry as dust and colorless plains With a lilting tune Till where �cand next step? Then can't go ahead Stop over the field So I thought By silver rope connect with my body Maybe go back as I came here None any sign I wake up Then I am I can't say I underwent "Out of the body" Cause of A deficiency of reality It is a kind of dream Probably!

Otsuki-mi means moon-viewing on the night of the full moon in mid-autumn. It is held on September 15th That night is called ju-go-ya, the night of the 15th It is said that ju-go-ya is the best night to view the moon. People offer silver grass in the vase, rice dumplings, watermelons, chestnuts, and other autumn fruits and vegetables to the full moon. And place these things on a small stand or set of tables arranged on the edge of the veranda or near the windows of their home. I remember my mom had arranged these set when in my childhood. But it was only once. After that, this ceremony was never seen. And now I think nobody does. The sky is autumn is extremely clear and moon is beautiful. People in the past must have viewed the moon with great fascination and imagination. Since the first manned rocket landed on the moon, people no longer look at it with such curiosity. This traditional moon-viewing ceremony is now disappearing because of the smog and high-rise buildings in cities. Today, I saw crescent moon in the night sky. It disappeared now in the cloud. As follows, it is impossible to make a haiku about moon-viewing tonight.

In the harvest season Memory in the barley field Stalks got higher than us Grow ripe A field in the neighborhood In those age is none TV or game machines We had a technique to play With every thing Begun to play hide-and-seek in the barley field Tall barely is good to conceal oneself Look for him and run after him in the crop He gets away with desperate efforts Group chases him to play tag with Time pass with big pleasant Many stalks of the barely was bent down every where I noticed this was a wrong game An owner in this farm would angry at see this People in nearby is watching us Stop to play. Let's get away from here. With guilty and might comes punishment feeling For a week I was in fear A school's master gave to heed to all of pupils To play in the field We got carried away and made a nuisance to a farmer This place is now built in house It no longer has any vestige of its former land

Grottos in the foot of the mountain It was made for an air-raid shelter When at the Pacific war For children at a playful age That place was nice to play To explore unseen place Thrilling and fear of losing the way Seems a ghost is haunted Danger in a roof-fall Darkness even in the daytime One of grottos Most inner part of the cavern We discovered a pit Looking up right above from the dark side point Between the leaves The light of the sun is dazzling Pretty and fresh zone We called secret place there I guided some girls there First they are afraid of getting in the dark cave By talking how fantastic about secret place Then little girls got want to visit there My both arms was caught tightly by their hands Tom Sawyer and many Becky steps into the cave Feeling a knight myself On the way till that pit hole Just depend on the light reaching from entrance Walk to secret point slowly in the dark From bottom of the perpendicular hole Little girls is looking up straight Like as look a nicest thing

By the way After that Regrettably I 've never experienced that Girls catch my both hands Tightly

l It is now sealed with block not get inside.

I was attracted to travel without money It is some decoration in the day of youth Provably I was affected by a story of TV program School was now getting in long summer vacation This is a chance to do in my life Where should I go to travel? I made a plan to go a dune in Tottori prefecture Passing through on foot there To the city of Yonago About 20 miles I went as far as start point by train I paid a ticket I got some money by a part time job No spending any money after that In the night I arrived at Iwami station in Tottori prefecture I decided to sleep in the open night On a playground at somewhere school Lie down on the earth in the night It is hard to sleep Ants and mosquitoes get near Itchy feeling in part of my body Cannot get to sleep At the crack of dawn I had to get up

Thus I begun to travel without money Beautiful Uratome sea shore Having not breakfast and drowsiness Walking for a sand hill With an impetus of youth In hot summer day carry a bag Soon I became thirsty I did not have a canteen Drop at a stall Order a cold juice Walking for a little distance Again thirsty Buy a refreshing cooling drink And again! I had to spend the money This is already not a travelling without money I got tired to walk And I step on the bus Fee is only \10 as far as an entrance of dune With this, it is profitable to use a vehicle Walking on the sand The rain begun to fall It turned to pain I got quite sick of doing such a trip I gave up to travel on foot It is hard to travel without money Unless we have a mean spirit Sometimes I hear He travels around the world with no money Even if in domestic country I think highly of him! Because, I could not

Mr. Sera I met him first In a room An orthopedic hospital He lies down on the bed by me He hurts his foot Had an operation Carelessly he steps out his foot From a door of the car Another car runs over his foot That car runs away not realizing

Getting know with him I understood He is a very lack of care person Come and go in the hospital all the time Many kinds of sick and hurt An unemployed and drinker Depend on his sister

A board cover for a ditch Lose his footing and fell down his one leg And get an serious injury such as His sub-consciousness wants to hurt And wish to go to hospital To while away the time A doctor and some nurses are attentive to him

For a while Leave the hospital I was driving my mini bike on a road Someone popped out the road ahead of me "Dangerous!"I was taken a back He got across the road not making sure I confirmed Mr. Sera himself by rear view mirror Heedless man!

After that I hear He was burned to death In his house Live alone and sleeping Drinking and smoking Cause a fire Careless of cigarette Amen!

My third grade Female teacher was Mrs. Yokoyama The class in our charge Different with former female teacher She was quick to take offense If anything, a bad-looker Not gentle-mannered She oppressed us With her nagging

In the rainy season At Japanese language subject She proposed us to write a composition about "rainy season" Her pupils begins to make an essay Mrs. Yokoyama is walking between our place It was not long before I made full up 400 letters in a blank form I begun to write second sheet of papers

Just in time I felt an ache in my head Someone hit my head It came as a complete surprise to me Standing by my seat Mrs. Yokoyama get hysterical "Since then it takes 10 minutes past. What on earth are you doing!" I was dumbfounded She jumped to conclusions As if I was loafing on my work

A schoolgirl near my seat Justified for me "He is getting along second one" With a start Mrs. Yokoyama checks my composition papers A paper was already written appears from underside of new one "Gosh! You were making second papers!" She is patting on my head where she hit the point "I 'm sorry!" Smile wryly and giggle in the class Feeling awkward! How should I express!

My brother invited me a night game on Sunday in May 7th It was the first time to go see a professional baseball An opponent team was "Cyuniti-dragons" Go out of a home at PM 17:00, we took a bus The inside of a bus was so sultry Feeling sick so that I have lost happy emotion Primarily I have not interested in the baseball game "Oh! Carp won!" "Ah! Oowada hit a grand slum!" "Ah! Ooishi is nice pitching!" I thought these kinds of thing was insignificant Carp lost ten games in a row or not Oowada batter makes hit or not Ooishi pitcher is an ace and strike or ball or not I can't pay regard to that thing Though to say my brother to me, If Carp lose the game That day is not fun through all of the day If Carp wins, that day is feel cheerful through all of the day These things is really very difficult for me I hear a kind of man to hate a baseball It means such person is a queer fish I don't dislike so much that but I couldn't hold my interesting Though know what it's like to be Then that why I was gotten my brother bring with me We arrived at ballpark so that got inside the outfield bleachers Any infield stands and any outfield bleachers is same That reason why my brother picked up to cheap side We got in left side Some players was training when I looked More and more people increases so that it became can't move Getting a bit dark, all of illuminations put on At last it begins a baseball game But it is nothing about That is about the same to see a play begin on sandlot baseball I was disappointed a little It can see to hazy in the distance hidden in mist all over the infield by far "It is fun to hear booting than a real baseball game"said my brother A grown-up around 40 years old who is sitting in right side Hooted and jeered by his loud voice "Bando! Pay back your contract money!"so on He throws various vulgar words to a rival pitcher Bando "Bando! Repay 2 million yen!" "Hit it! If you can!"He is hooting down incessantly at the top of his voices Indeed it was interesting this way than a baseball "You do better to keep away from that fellow"said my brother Franchise team carp is superior on this game A spectator shout for joy when it makes a hit I do not care a straw so that just heard heckling Around the seventh inning, that footing man started a quarrel with a young guy Who was seated front of him cause of a trifling matter That man got drunk on beers He struck young guy on the head by his drinking caned beer He was up at last The beer inside a can was scattered and splashed around the people "Throw that fellow out!" Everybody jeered individually All people in the left side stand up and see that what was the matter Police men comes and finally this disturbance went still I was a little staggered Though for me, this is fine instead of than a dull baseball game During the time, trashy game step forward Carp defeated Cyuniti The whole audience over 20,000 stood a figure of banzai and cheered Stream out of exit in great numbers My brother and I also got out through the crowd I thought the professional baseball was grander than amateur one But, it doesn't matter �And my attitude about baseball�c�c.� This is not a poetry A composition in high school Teacher pointed on last sentence �My attitude about baseball�c�c� What is this meaning? It is not clear!

Mystery Circle For long time Enliven our interest Nessie monster It was end to false rumor

Again in UK It begun in 1980 In the field of oat Cut down Some big complete circles Appears in the night

No evidence Someone gets in and makes it A matter of mysterious It is developing every year To complicated figures Increase geometrically

I saw these photos It is absolutely impossible On earth people make these circles Not get looked from others In the night And short time

Plasma made? Only possible about simple circle Human being made? Impossible UFO made? Uhmmm!

A granary in South of England Came out this year again Mysterious Geometric design Circle maker Appeals Every shape Respond to gathering unconsciousness In human kind

Different with false Nessie I hope this is true Massages from extraterrestrial life! We can't take our eyes off!

She was familiar with me I don't know the reason But she changes to a school I haven't seen her since A feeling loneliness was left

Another girl sits down by my seat Our seat teacher decided All the time she was seated with my side Cause of order in the height It seems closely related to her After years we had a chance to meet She was distantly related to me

My first love girl It was one way traffic love We separated after junior high school Passing over thirty years Unexpectedly I could catch her phone number We promised to meet again I couldn't wait for Feel a longing But she broke this promise I call her house Then her husband came out "Never call again!"he said

Love when someone is very young It doesn't ripe easily Only remain A touch of melancholy A heartrending sorrow A memory on her/him at that time That never comes back
