Large white panties caught my eye.
The large white panty was stretched shamelessly on a hanger, fluttering majestically from a window above, wash drying in the day’s air.
This is a shopping street in Shanghai.
“Wow, shocking!
Panties are supposed to be hidden.
Shameless, isn’t it?
Or, am I too sensitive?
Japanese public toilets are equipped with a music player that covers the sound of peeing.
Does this exist in any other country in the world?
Or, are Japanese just overly self-conscious?”
For some reason, I can’t get that panty out from my mind.
It appeared suddenly, white lace wavering in the breeze.
But as it hung over me, it began to interfere with my life long vision of roses.
