AFTER STAYING UP LATE READING SEI SHONAGON


Rising early and setting off as the Sun rises
Behind grey-blue clouds resting on the horizon
And meeting oneself coming the other way.
Worse if only one of you is sober.

Telling a story and realizing the villain
Cannot help outsmarting the hero
And winning the heroine. Worse if it’s plain
The girl will be happier with him.

Feeling ill with no person about so that cats
Must see to  your affairs and attend
To your recovery. Worse to discover that
Mouse broth flavored with fennel is delicious.
