leaving the Tokyo subway,
a hundred umbrellas
rise in unison

Entering the Toyko subway
A thousand umbrellas
bow
Excellent poem, beautiful image. A reflection on interdependent cultures too.
Vivid sense of togetherness – especially love the musical sense in the word choice, "unison"
Excellent! This poem creates a strong image that's not easily forgotten.
Great images come to me with this, neat!
