sorrow and its purple metal

It was so hard to leave Japan, because it was so easy to be there. I left a sublime job, friends, and independence, and I cried about it on the plane while seated next to a darling Japanese businessman. Ten months of the superlative became a receding memory as the ground faded underneath the wheels.

Back in Canada where everything is the same but looks different; I can't filter out conversations, feel comfortable riding in a car, find something to eat in a gigantic grocery store, stop noticing overweight people, feel assured about what I'm doing, move confidently, or relate.
