Father Out Of Time And Other Stories

Not Paris Or Tokyo

My Alsace.
It's not Paris or old Tokyo.
My Alsace,
with flower gardens and rivers
as roads in Summer Strasbourg.
Like a taste of Beer.
My Alsace.

With Alsace the
expectations do not
diverge. It glues.

In Manga journals
they say the gates, and yet
In Manga journals
it is work culture remains.
If contests were all Japan,
then what does this say of Tokyo.
In Manga journals

Where gates shut
out, the talented and the
oppressed. Alsace

For me, at least
is what keeps me possessed
with its open gates.
With Manwha coming close,
tempting me with French country.

And KPop at the door.
