I claim my bench in warm sunlight
Rummaging through my plastic bag
One is a rice ball, one is a fried chicken lunch—
The view and my hunger, perfectly matched
I peel the lid, take a deep breath
And now, the moment of truth begins—
I snap the disposable chopsticks
And the laws of the universe collapse!
They split in vain!
All I ever wanted was a perfect break
But why—why today of all days—
They split in vain!
One side’s a spear, sharp and absurd
A tiny rebellion... by disposable wood
Every bite of chicken makes it sway
This isn’t cutlery—it’s clearly a weapon
Mocking me in silent contempt
A little hell in the quiet of lunch
My hand shakes, the chopsticks rebel
I pray no one sees
This portrait of defeat
They split in vain!
All I wanted was a clean, straight line
But once again, you betray me today—
They split in vain!
It’s not rage, it’s not sorrow, this strange emotion
I gently tie the paper sleeve shut
An incident in peaceful daylight
A small pain I can’t confess
Still, I will rise again—
Yes, again and again
They split in vain!
This absurd, crooked twist of fate
Again today, you rise against me—
They split in vain!
Even if you break, I never will
Tomorrow… tomorrow, I’ll win
