Samizu's 1973 diary as a poem
In the summer's embrace, 'twas July's prime, Nineteen seventy-three, a memorable time. By the shore's edge, a beach so serene, Bill, Donny, and Malena, a heroic scene.
A private cabana, borrowed with care, Under the sun, we gathered, a group so rare. Bodies glistened, the ocean's allure, Yet I sat in my chair, content to endure.
Men's eyes were drawn to Malena's grace, Her beauty captivating, an ethereal chase. Nightfall beckoned, to an Italian delight, Pasta consumed, conversations taking flight.
Bill's sister arrived, with a babe in her arms, Friends in tow, adding to summer's charms. Water beckoned, I entered a few times, Yet swimming eluded, as we savored the rhymes.
Days unfolded, each with its own tale, As memories etched, like heroes, we prevailed. A bikini purchased, a morning's pursuit, But conversation reigned, boredom took its root.
Bill and Malena bid their heartfelt goodbyes, Leaving behind memories 'neath azure skies. With Donny, I ventured to the crowded shore, Reading news, tanning skin, seeking something more.
A message arrived, from Fujita's wise hand, An article on Nakayama, a truth to understand. Days passed, and Bill returned to our fold, Malena invited to New Jersey, or so I was told.
But I urged her instead, to visit my place, For meetings awaited, a different embrace. The thought of John and Al lingered in air, Donny hesitant, Bill and Malena's affair.
Late in the evening, a call I did make, Guiding her journey, for her heart's sake. In the quiet aftermath, as Bill and Donny fled, I sketched my emotions, a soul heavy as lead.
Badminton played with Donny and Bill, Windy gusts, disrupting our skill. In the basement's refuge, I sought solace in art, And penned a letter to Craig, emotions impart.
A postcard arrived, with news of Craig's move, A change in his life, a path he would prove. Cops came knocking, their arrival a surprise, Yet Malena appeared, a spark in her eyes.
Kazuko, I called, to halt her approach, Reasons unknown, her answer bespoke. Rainy forecasts dampened my cheer, I woke in the afternoon, a day yet unclear.
Bill's presence discouraged, as guests were to come, Kazuko and Ashizawa, our plans to become one. A letter from Craig, short and bereft, His journey to change, a new path he'd left.
Under the sun's gaze, I shared moments with Malena, On grass we conversed, seeking solace, serene-a. Donny returned, his newspaper's tale, Marijuana charges, causing whispers to prevail.
A call from Bill, a secret to share, I confided the situation, my trust laid bare. He pledged responsibility, a burden to bear, In the depths of the night, I wrote to Craig with care.
Awakening at ten, a silence profound, Malena and Donny, in slumber they drowned. In the basement, I sketched, lost in my art, Seeking solace, mending a weary heart.
Malena descended, a presence so dear, Sharing worries, anxieties, shedding every fear. The day turned to evening, rain kissed the ground, Recalling conversations, Donny and Bill's sound.
Late into the night, with Malena I spoke, Hesse's Steppenwolf captivated, emotions awoke. Recommendations offered, Beauvoir's wise prose, A promise made, to call as the new day arose.
With pain in my body, I rose at day's start, Motionless, I stared, seeking solace, my heart. Tchaikovsky's concertos, a respite I sought, In the depths of my mind, contemplations were wrought.
Donny's lawyer, still silent, no news to be heard, Malena's departure, an early morning occurred. Under the sun's gaze, I toiled in my art, Seeking solace, mending a weary heart.
A letter dispatched, to the Immigration's door, Documenting my name change, seeking something more. Deep slumber embraced me, till noon's gentle call, A weariness consumed, a tired soul's thrall.
A call from Kazuko, her visa's demand, Guidance offered, Mr. Chandos in command. Sunny skies adorned, the Watergate's plight, Secrets withheld, truths hidden from sight.
Stress detector's judgment, Dean's credibility in haze, Mrs. Mitchell's deceit, a web she does raise. With brush in my hand, I painted till late, Polaroid capturing moments, memories to elate.
Malena's call, an afternoon's delight, Seeking John Berry's contact, my heart alight. Awakening at two, sleep's grasp relinquished, Sketching ensued, my passion not diminished.
Sunny and hot, the day's heat embraced, I painted with fervor, passion interlaced. The irrigating machine danced with the grass, A reminder of life's cycles, as moments did pass.
John Berry's home I called, St. Louis afar, His absence noted, like a distant star. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now August 20, 1973 draws near, A new chapter begins, a tale we revere. John Berry's voice echoed, a friend from the past, Reveling in memories, friendships that last.
Awakening to the call, as the clock chimed one, John's voice a reminder, old friends to be won. In Tokyo's domain, he dwelled with delight, Designing cards, seeking artistic height.
A one-man show, at Ginza's grand stage, Immersed in his craft, an artist's eager wage. His encounter with Mr. Gunn yet to come, A journey to Japan, a secret kept mum.
Malena, unknowing, of John's secret plan, Absorbed in Steppenwolf, her mind began to span. Kazuko's call resonated, a meeting to arrange, Penn Station rendezvous, their paths to exchange.
Mr. Chandos awaited, guidance in his hands, To navigate the bureaucracy, where hope expands. Brush in hand, I painted with fervent strokes, Clouds overhead, thunder whispered with croaks.
Fumi's call arrived, with news unforeseen, Rick's parents revoked their support, a treacherous scene. Consulting Donny's lawyer, seeking wise advice, Divorce's web tangled, intentions hidden from eyes.
Expressing my concerns, a letter I penned, Words rushed forth, my thoughts I did send. Painting continued, hours melted away, Seeking solace, as daylight turned gray.
A letter from Teruko, a glimpse of home, Nakayama's absence, Japan's struggles to comb. Allied Artists' bill arrived, a reminder of past, Foreign employees departed, memories amassed.
Awakening at 10, a new day unveiled, Paintbrush in hand, the canvas I hailed. Headache lingered, a companion unkind, Yet creativity flowed, a solace to find.
A letter from Immigration, procedures prolonged, Patience tested, the path still so long. Thoughts flowed onto paper, addressed to the Bureau, Seeking resolution, hoping for breakthrough.
Days passed, painted in a heroic surge, Creativity's flame, my spirit did urge. Through storms and doubts, my art did persevere, A warrior on canvas, battling every fear.
Each stroke, a testament to my journey's plight, Expressing emotions, in colors bold and bright. Heroes and legends, woven in each line, An epic tale, captured in art divine.
And so, the days marched on, in heroic verse, A summer's tale, where hearts did immerse. July's memories, etched upon my soul, In epic poems, my story, I extol.
