Cony Island / ﾙｲｽﾞ・ﾛｿﾞｳｨｸ 1929
Driving a cardboard automobile without a license
at the turn of the century
my father ran into my mother
on a fun-ride at Coney Island

that she was right for him entirely
he followed her into
the playland of that evening
where the headlong meeting
of their ephemeral flesh on wheels

NY コニーアイランドにどこか似た
横浜 みなとみらいの遊園地。
いい歳をした大人も ちょっとした気まぐれで
行ってみようかと思う日もあることでしょう。
遠い昔
デパート屋上の遊園地
人混みの中 興奮気味の幼い私と まだ若い両親の姿
おぼろげなそのシーンは 様々な記憶と混同し
色褪せていきます。
もし、ひとりあの日まで時間を遡ることができるなら
彼らと 笑顔ですれ違いたいものです。
「おまえ いくつのつもりだよ？」
ランドマークを背景に海水浴。
さすがに そこまで夢見る 横浜市民はいないと思いますね。（笑）
