A Mirror Poem by Shuntaro Tanikawa
A Mirror
Yes, this is the guy I call "watashi"—
Two tiny eyes and two common ears,
one nose, one mouth.
Though I can't see at all what's inside,
maybe it's all a terrible mess.
Anyway, I've put on another year.
I will say, "Many happy returns!"
The sun also rises today
and Mt. Fuji soars just fine.
So I, too, live on not worrying—
of course, with you
and each and every living creature.
