There is More than One Way Home
The sun was roasting at a high of 36 yesterday as I wondered back to my home. We are promised that it was the last day of hot weather as this morning I awoke to cooling rain splattering on my window.
I had the time, so I chose another way home from the station. I wanted to see what there was to be seen as the mercury still read 30 degrees at 4 in the afternoon. All these souls living in such proximity to one another. Literally the people live stacked on top of one another. Japan, and Tokyo in particular, is a vertical society where the souls are layered like Lego blocks in perfected geometry.
