Nippon

We can relish in the wonders of
foreign soil, the oddities and attractions
the differences in people, in culture
the samenesses in people.

We can taste of the richness of otherness
exploit the good and leave the bad
eat the hot soup on a hot day
sweat through our shirts the exoticness

We can all live together by force
or by sheer will of peace or
sheer will of god, or whatever.

We will consume.
