Dr. Yellow, the yellow Shinkansen that brings luck when you see it. I saw it with Dzakye on April 5, 2010 as we stood atop the Kokusai Forum in Ginza, Tokyo. Lucky us!

Dr. Yellow, the yellow Shinkansen, 2010.
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010A pole to stop a train, part 2, 2005.
Monday, March 8th, 2010There are times when this caution pole could come in handy. For example, if you want to tie a burglar to a pole, this would be the one. It is low enough to force the burglar in a crouching, or sitting position. As everyone knows, that limits the burglar’s movements, and the burglar would be less able to attack you in a surprise comeback. Of course, the ropes and duct tape also can help. I’d like to duct tape a burglar to a caution pole. That’s a dream worth realizing.
A pole to stop a train, part 1, 2005.
Monday, March 8th, 2010It’s a tale of caution. Train’s are hunks of metal moving so fast that if it hit you, you would not live to tell this tale. That’s power. You are a life that could be snuffed out by this power. Think about it. Don’t let it go by so fast. If a train is coming in your direction, run so as to ease the effects of a collision. If you cannot run, hide behind this pole. It’s painted to look like something you’d want to hide behind. If you cannot do that, or unwilling because it looks ridiculous, then stay home and watch Lost.
Wasted train in, 2005.
Sunday, January 31st, 2010When you’re in the compartment, it seems stationary. The stuff going bye isn’t important. It’s the imagined future. It’s what you’re pulling toward you. That’s the thing. The part of us that needs to fulfill another part. Something is seeking a resting point. Something is looking for a point to be. To exist. It will find that point, instantaneously becoming restless.
Slick strain, 2010.
Friday, January 29th, 2010We’re on the train, relaxing. It’s a bit late. Most people are quiet. The repetitive noises lull us to the edge of disconnect. The bam! A train passes opposite, the concussion of wind gives instant rattle to the windows. Relax no more! Funny, no one seems to notice.
It missed me, 2010.
Friday, January 29th, 2010This train is relatively slow. It’s slower than airplanes and cheetahs. It’s faster than me (in a straight line). The Tamagawa sen. The Tamagawa line. The fast slow train I ride often. Lights on, docking at the train port. The train eki. The densha station. What’s in a name?
Fast goes to polish, 2010.
Friday, January 29th, 2010The Shinkansen travels by fast. It’s a high-speed train on rails that are polished smooth by the train moving at a high rate of speed due in part to the very smooth rails that were polished by the train.
