The Only One

by Mukesh Williams

There is no hitotsu dake,

No ‘only one in life’.

We have to imagine the concept

And then believe in it

To make it happen.

Life is a series of surrogates

Waiting at every junction and

When you arrive at it

You have to choose your train

Or make an exit.

Every surrogate is hitostu dake.

The transformations are eternal,

The slippages unremitting,

The metonymy incredible,

And the synecdoche inexorable.
