the great mechanic engineer sensei and kiba-o examines a japanese book of three treasures; we arrive at pages of descriptions.

“i cannot read this,” he pauses, gesturing, “too smooth.”

“yes, sensei.”

“i can only read older…,” fingers like a macaw’s beak trailing off the page.

“it’s beautiful sensei.”
