“You are a superstar…”

You are a superstar whom I found on the all night
silver screen. Hollywood star way, your faded bromide.
Being left in the passing screen, I watched the ending mark
alone. The bell of Nakayamate church rings just like laughing at
me, with my head bent down. Sannomiya, Motomachi, Kitano-machi
Only you are a superstar that I found on a street corner in the city.

Evocative engrish from the packaging for the Tasteful & Good Flavor Cheese Steam Soft Cakes that I bought for my sister at Osaka /Kansai airport.

  1. Oh, what a beautiful poem! *sniff*

  2. It certainly adds an aura, some of it unintentionally funny for me. Being charmed and entertained by the words was what made up my mind to buy.
