Akihabara at Night

F.L. Blumberg

After the otaku shops, electronics megastores, and maid cafés have closed,

still drenched in synthetic glare,

Akihabara late at night is where you can pause at last,

though some are just starting to work.

The unthinkable materialises,

the inscrutable beckons,

the familiar looks mysterious,

subtle trouble slinks past,

and, with every stride, the street seems to speak your mind.
