men in black,
women also.
I've seen them a couple of times
since I was a kid,
...
in the supermarket I found chou a la creme grandma really loved,
and I saw Baumkuchen mom often used to have.
now they're gone, mom and grandma,
...
I thought it was snow
but it wasn't
it was just a pebble
gleaming in the late autumn's sun
...
walking about aimlessly
in a backstreet of Tokyo
on a June afternoon
I saw a dog
...
I lost my gravity,
self and memory, too.
maybe I'm happy,
nowhere to go,
...
'God sees everything we do, '
Which makes women blush.
'God sees everything we do, '
...
We always praise
The first star of the evening,
And usually not
The second light of the night,
...
not knowing where I am
I looked up the sky above
everywhere's just the same ―
not knowing where I am
...
I thought it was a butterfly;
But it wasn't.
Just a shadow of something flying;
I tried to glance at it
...
The evening star or the morning star?
Whichever it may be named,
Anyone can see it.
Any day.

men in black,
women also.
I've seen them a couple of times
since I was a kid,
and some more
till I die.
