Hold On

Loose Leaves – Looking Back

 



For about a month late last year, I had to take the little community bus (“sugimaru”) between Asagaya and Hamadayama in Tokyo.

 



 

SUGIMARU


Each day –

falling a little more

in love

with a recorded voice:

 

“The bus will now depart,

so please –

hold on tight!”
