Don't I Know You From Somewhere |
If I were a sushi roll |
Traversing through a Japanese kitchen |
I would be mostly fascinated |
By the people there |
Their welcoming arms |
And their strange voices |
Their fingers flying around |
Immersed in conversation |
I would like to ask them a question |
«Don't I know you from somewhere?» |
«Don't I know you from somewhere?» |
«Don't I know you from somewhere?» |
They would be too busy to answer me |
Too hungry and happy with their lives |
Busy soaking up the atmosphere |
And this restaurant with pictures of slinky fish |
On the wall |
The sharp sound of knives |
And the smell of soy and ginger |
Still in their nostrils |
I would be in awe of their breath |
Their breath, their breath |
I could hardly wait |
To be lifted into their mouths |
And get broken in two |
And lie there melting |
Somewhere between |
The sadness of their tongue and teeth |
«Don't I know you from somewhere?» |
«Don't I know you from somewhere?» |
«Don't I know you from somewhere?» |
