About Tokyo

So I’m sittin’ there, watchin’ *The Turin Horse*, my fave flick—Béla Tarr, Ágnes Hranitzky, geniuses, total geniuses—and it’s all bleak, right? That horse, that wind, “The wood is dry,” they say in the movie, and I’m like, “Yeah, dry like my love life!” But whores? They ain’t dry, nah, they’re out there, makin’ it happen, rain or shine. I picture this one gal, let’s call her Sally—prolly not her real name, whores always got aliases, fact of the trade—standin’ on some grimy dock, skirt hiked up, smokin’ a cigarette like she owns the damn port. And I’m like, “Good for you, Sally! Pretty, pretty good hustle!” But also—kinda grosses me out! All those sweaty sailors, me included—ugh, the hygiene, the STENCH. Makes me wanna shower just thinkin’ bout it.

Finally, I get past her and head to the market. The smell of takoyaki hits me. I’m like, “Yes, please!” I grab a couple, and they’re so good. I’m munching away, feeling like a king, when I see this street performer on the corner of Shōwa-dōri. He’s juggling fire! Like, who does that? I’m impressed but also thinking, “Dude, you’re one slip away from a trip to the ER.”
