i am
the social
i am
cooking?
for others

and throughout the night

i am
saving japanese boys
with flat tires
who call on me
me?
to come to their aid

"you're the most girlish american girl i've ever met"

i am 

introducing japanese people to each other
clearing up misunderstandings between their japanese
how?

"you are so free."

i am
explaining my chrome to others
showing places
exchanging greetings with my daily locals

"i think, maybe i should be more like you. you do your 

hair so pretty, you dress so cute. you are so happy."

i am
the go-between
keeping the conversation rolling
walking others safely back
giving advice
rattling off proverbs
tonight i possess the knowledge i usually seek
tonight i am what i seek
