The poems draw out those idiosyncrasies I have experienced, whether it be a moment of cruelty on a bus in Japan, my response to an orange on a table, the relationship of a hemophiliac to his condition, the shocking reply to someone’s politeness, or my experience towards an amputee sitting before me on a Japanese train.
