Loneliness in the Digital Age
in fashionable glasses
her crossed legs
perched like chopsticks
A woman reads Jane Eyre
and eats sushi alone
I no longer yearn
for the sheltered warmth
of mothers and hearths
I want to dance in the naked air
and answer the thunder
The sun came
in the window
low and level
to enlighten the smell
of a rotten tomato

moomin2009An American woman reading a book with sushi is wonderful for Japanese like me. I wanna take a picture of her. By the way ,are there many sushi restaurants in New York City ? Do they have the rotary sushi plates system ?
Hi Mont,
Yes, sushi is very popular in New York, especially for lunch. Japanese cuisine is considered very healthy by Americans. But the scene for my poem came from a Japanese restaurant--they have sushi, izikaya, and lots of interesting small dishes. I love it!
Oh, and they have natto. I have to try it, but nobody will try it with me.
I don't know rotary sushi plates system. Please teach me about it.
