"oh danny boy"
-bill evans, among other great recordings

I went over to Tokyo to see the results of the foreign civil service examination
I had taken back in July.

result: fail

In a state of puzzlement,

and playing my emotions down,

I tried very hard (perhaps excessively) to keep cool,

as i took the subway home.

J.D. Salinger
banana fish

Salinger's writing
illustrates the most subltle of matters

imagine a screen,
as a long story comes to an end,
the characters driving down a NY boulevard

his camera will
catch a glimpse of a street corner
and zoom in on
a autumn leaf under a street light.
