the cherry blossoms were already sprouting green leaves amidst their cumulus cloud pinkness
all the tourists
the lovers
the union groups
the students

people posing
different people
the louis vuitton carrying ladies with the upturned dark purplish red brown hair
the men dangling cigarettes
the shorts and converse clad girls with straight hair and smoky eyes
the guys with jeans and keys jingling in their pockets

all the same poses
all the same side stance
an open fifth position
smiling the same 30 degrees
hands behind their backs
lovers touching secretly
all backs turned to the cherry blossoms
blooming a thunderstorm
