happy
there’s a smiley face on the front of my head
i keep it there as long as i can
the only time i take it off
is when it starts to hurt me
power
yesterday i ate the sky
and now my tummy hurts
i think the birds disagree with me
osaka
[pause]
integrate west and east
and failing that, keep west in my pocket
[flow]
seek to understand east
and failing that, fake as much as i can
[merge]
i live in the un-melting pot
of the eastern islands
and i am slowly melting
with my facade intact
[do]
i follow the sheep into
their little pens . . .
[ache]
. . . and stand there heads above them all
with blank stares shooting towards my hair,
my face, my hands, my clothes.
[run].
