ACUMEN PRESENTS I’VE NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE

« Ten days have passed since I stopped looking up while walking, ten days since the Sun disappeared. The Moon and the clouds
They look alike. What happens as we grow up?
I am shaped by these tall buildings, whose windows light up and go out intermittently. A varied monotony.
Tokyo has always been my childhood, in a quiet neighborhood where birdsong mingled with the hum of the television, my grandmother's laughter, and her stories about Lake Motosu, one of the five lakes adorning Mount Fuji.
She spoke of gods who quench their thirst there, while I, thirsty for life, listened to her attentively.
I want to get off the beaten track, far from the hustle and bustle of the subway and the glare of neon billboards. I need to venture where I don't
I've never been before.
