My Fit Lemur


A little obscure but I was inspired by a picture of a man in the rubble in a small town, Namie, within the nuclear exclusion zone in Japan. In the foreground is a coffee shop sign: My Fit Lema. 


My Fit Lemur

We're two years in,
And still no Spring.
The Matsuri resurrected,
New P.Ms elected.

While cast aside,
I did not die,
But in the shadows reside:

Me and my fit lemur;
A social stigma,
That marks me out,
As contaminated.

This time no allies,
But our own side.
Were we decieved,
Or did we fail to believe?

There is no leak.

Even as the hydrogen exploded,
As our futures corroded,
That dice was loaded.

With two years gone,
The world's moved on.
But as the ghost towns sit,
Making the country sick,
On radiation and the bitter row,
Over what to do now.

Remember: my lemur and I,
We did not die.
