Japanese Wedding
Only I, that is how it feels, but in truth
it must happen to others too
sleepwalkers
get into these situations
get asked for directions
get asked to take photos
get asked to sponsor events
stumble into Japanese weddings
yes, it is true
I walked straight into a Japanese wedding
outside our hotel in Florence
sometimes I shut off my brain
and just walk, sleepwalking
figured I am on vacation
was just going to buy a bottle of water
and then
suddenly
I am on a red carpet
surrounded by photographers
aiming their photographic lenses
not towards me, not intentionally
but at the couple walking out in front of me
wedding gown, groom
my brain turns on
and I realize that I am caught in the middle
of a Japanese wedding
and I need to move
and all eyes look at me
as I edge out of the way
of this Japanese wedding
