Japanese, circles, A Gate, eyelids, dreams, caffeine

[squirmelia]

My Japanese classes have ended for this school year, and people brought sushi and pretty cakes to eat. I am now trying to translate Douglas Coupland's "God Hates Japan" into English. Part of the first sentence might say "End of the high school year's events".

A man jogged around in circles on the pavement. I could see his well-pronounced leg muscles.
--
There are signs on the Avenue that say "A Gate", when it's not a gate, definitely not a gate.
--
If I remove my eyelids, will you look into my eyes forever, without blinking, without looking away, but deeply, tenderly, intensely, so that I can look back
into yours and inhale, soak up the sight of your eyes with my gaze, bathe my retinas with that view?
--
French quiz: Garden is not a form. That's what I dreamt.

It's a particular bit of skin underneath my eyes that feels different, maybe differently stretched, after I've had too much caffeine and am far too wide-eyed.

I'll look for it at the library, thanks for the suggestion. All is indeed well here, hope all is well for you also.
