Somehow
The idea of rolling along Tokyo streets
By bike relaxes the stress of travel planning, the endless viewing
Of videos advising on ALL THE ZILLIONS OF COOL THINGS TO DO
In Tokyo and I want to see them all and my stomach tightens
And my brain is crunching through all the possibilities.
Everyone is going to Japan and the roar of the trains and
The crush of the crowds edging their way to
See this or that at close range seems daunting
But a bike! The videos of people
Biking along quiet side roads, or
A path along a busy highway,
Along the riverbank, the wind
Cooling my cheek, my own
Little universe.
