met this man who could float
a macrobiotic cruise—
dark hair, animated eyes
small stature buoyancy
life force life preserver
like macrobiotic food
well chewed cereals and local veg
traditionally wise, Edo edge
food has energy
dude has energy
he was a Golden Gate
big bridge from yin to yang
his special method of touch
touching new shores
over our processed fog
and—
I wanted to take him home
in my suitcase
