In front of your eyes,
Your ears twitch
But you remain resigned.
The face buries itself in your fur,
It wants a kiss -
Unblinking you stare into space.
The face withdraws,
In its place, a green vegetable
Is put in your cage.
The crowds gather
At the big Buddha
Down by the sea,
They leave their votive offerings;
Sake and rice wine
Oranges and green tea.
The Big Buddha
Stares unmoved,
The crowd swells
As more people arrive.
