GIGGLE Poem by Shuntaro Tanikawa

GIGGLE



"I gave birth to a fish"
says the woman
"I freed it in the sea right away"

Giggling under the breath
I am downtown
people are sick of other people

What shall we do now?
Shall we go see
our dead friends?

Here I am, not understanding anything
not knowing anything
I open a pocket paperback for now, but

All that comes to
my mind is:
It's a fine day
