Saturday’s Child
Children really make me happy. I like being around them, playing with them, teaching them… Japan is supposedly in a population recession, but I sure see a lot of little kids around the city. Kids in strollers, kids toddling along behind their parents, kids in papoose-like structures on moms and dads. I think it would be fun to work in a daycare center, or an activity camp, as long as it wasn’t one of those oppressively religious ones.
Today is Saturday the twenty-eighth. I feel like there’s something special about today, like it’s someone’s birthday, or anniversary or something, but I guess it’s just the last day of February. Well, actually, tomorrow is the last day of February because it’ a leap year. I didn’t notice it was a leap year until yesterday. I also didn’t notice that Lent had begun until I saw Mardi Gras photo specials on the web. I guess that makes me a lousy Christian. Or I’m just fried from working way too much.
I feel cleaner today than usual. Maybe it’s because I intentionally took my time and made myself late for work. I’m so dead I don’t give a damn, and civilized living is just a fairy tale, for children.
