GMT + 9 Asia Japan Tokyo 35 41 00 139 42 00 E . . SHINJUKU . Particled artifice encroaches by the year, brought to you by the good people at Epson, Mitsukoshi, Kentucky and Doutor. Don Quixote is a crowned cartoon penguin selling items in cluttered bulk over here. No molinos to lambast, only flashing signs for 6th floor eateries that feign tradition with their illegible back-lit monikers raised to life by Freon gas. . From the windows and from the tops of shoulders, unfeeling eyes downcast. Your antennae prod the skies. Between the microwaves from keitais, you unconsciously negotiate the gridline with a fair bit more zombified expertise. You’re no neophyte now, my young nobody. Metro jingles jangle and symmetry honeydews quietly mellow, kaiten-zushi for your rumbles and tissue girls for your wheeze, or maybe just to wipe your hands after you uncouthly and publicly sneeze. . The clapboard shuffle of the dispossessed. Wrinkled rayon and a buttonless vest. Don’t forget: You are now cliché too… White boy. Soda Cracker. Nihongostalgia plays out in the now. It’s now the longings are forged and mixed. Turn back on your memory clogged mind and realize your place in this Air-con neck-tied nightmare of life’s hurried waste. Novelty rubbed raw, faster pussycat’s out of tricks. . Electioneering black vans with white-gloved pricks shouting slogans turtle past, muppets in white queen mum hats waggle their asses, and fake their smiles to their fake fans. Better git a coupla cans in, then. Kirin Namashibori, perhaps? Quickly, though, before objectivity sets in. You can learn one thing from the Kenjis, and it’s fantastic: Hair Of The Dog is Homeopathic.

hi dave, I have done the four new ones with a more accurate spacing but different font. Tell me what you think and I will do the others the same way if you like.
