6506. JAPANESE FOOT DOCTOR

JAPANESE FOOT DOCTOR
Your Japanese foot doctor, I see now, has
just put your leg on his table. Part of some
new collection? Or a therapy I didn't know of?
-
A long time ago, when Truman dropped those 
bombs, a lot of things changed. A nation and 
a people were thwarted, living low : ash and
muck and destruction and danger.
-
Now most everything has been rebuilt and given
new swagger  -  Ginza to Fuji, up and down the
hat. All those riots and grumbles about Narita,
the airport displacing the sacred  -  all over and
forgotten. What they live with now, the last of
the old, as they all die off, is nothing than better
called 'The Horror Imagination'. It always lingers.

I see your Japanese foot doctor, has just now
put your leg on his table. Part of some new
collection? Or a therapy I didn't know of?
