Haibun - Back to the Pavillion
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2014 5:08 am
After working five years in a plush office on a plush salary, brushing shoulders with the rich and famous he is suddenly deprived of all these luxuries. The company downs its shutters with no prior warning.
Not wanting to remain idle at home, he rolls up his sleeves, dons simple clothes again and heads back to his ex-employer to seek reappointment. The old man looks at him with scepticism. Will he be able to re-adapt and settle down in his old job again? He reassures him, that all the extra fat he had put on would soon melt and he'd look and be the same sincere guy that he was five years ago.
With a rather unsure expression he is re-hired...
familiar smells
engulf him - the spider too
has not changed its place
