Three premises having nothing to do with the photograph of a man on television in Hong Kong (circa 1980) hanging on my living room wall (a poem)
Inspired by the cover of the Haruomi Hosono album The Endless Talking, plus a few stray thoughts.
Dear Sunday…
Dear Sunday,
I suppose awkward translations are better than none at all.
Love,

This started out as a poem. But it wasn’t, so now it’s this.
Dear Saturday…
Dear Saturday,
Such a sleepy day.
Love,

Dear Friday…

What’s on the agenda today?

Sorry. Got distracted again.

Dear Wednesday…
Dear Wednesday,
I’m awake. Sort of.

A black-and-white photograph and the tenuous connection of memory (a poem)
I started with the photograph; then it was suddenly 1988 again.
Dear Tuesday…
Dear Tuesday,
HOAs. You know what I’m talking about.
Love,
