girl in kobe

hey, so I'm on the express train all alone to Kobe 

head rested against the window,

watching the countryside fly back

it's nice, it's nice

except the weather is quite cloudy this morning

and the Detective Conan theming of the Super Hakuto limited express train is taking me out a little

but I'm on way to Kobe

I got 10,000 yen in my pocket and no plans when I get there

monuments to marital trade stories high

I walk straight down to the waterfront

this city feels so empty in this corner

so big and empty

barely anyone to be seen on the waterfront

fishermen and a man in high vis waving signs at a distant cargo ship with his arms

ferris wheel in the distance

teens smoking by the carpark

does this place feel like Wellington like I thought?

well, it doesn't really look the same.

maybe at generous angles, it could look similar, but it really doesn't

but the wind here feels comforting

the light drizzle from the clouds feels reassuring

the pigeons don't get too bothered if you get too close

and the ocean looks nice 

it's not quite home

but it'll do for today
