so, every day that junko has work, i go with her to Shinjuku, and the plan is to meet her outside her work 8.5 hours later. the best way for me to actually be there 8.5 hours later is to not move from that spot at all.
the second best way is to set out by foot and keep the tallest building in tokyo (the tmg) in eyesight. then i know i can make it back. i can go further, but it had better be in straight lines.
anyhow... there is a fairly large park under the tmg, and i spend the morning rush hour there. the park is populated with pigeons, homeless people, and the grounds-keeping crew, who stride as a team to their office shack to have their morning rallying pep-talk before they get started. they look like a rag-tag astronaut crew walking to the launch pad.
i enjoy these mornings and had a chance to write this short musical piece about them while i moved from coffee shop to coffee shop to avoid the rain today.
i hope you enjoy, click here to listen or even download the track.
