林檎

=================================

Single shot, inside house, table in front of open window, ceiling fan

– Rieko is hunched over at the table, asleep.

– A mejiro lands on the window sill, sees her, flies over to her in curiosity, looks at the empty tabletop, flies out the window.

– Comes back with an item and lays it on the table, leaves again.

– Continues this process, sometimes finding items from within the house.

– The last item is an airhorn, which the mejiro sounds to wake Rieko up. After a tick of initial shock, she leans over to inspect the bird’s handiwork and smiles.

– End screen is a top down view of the table, showing the items were arranged to spell “お誕生日おめでとうございます”.

– If there’s time, Yuki can be woken up and begin chasing the mejiro around.

Hey, look at me

Placing a round, red apple in my palm
I wonder which is sweeter

That girl, this girl, that girl over there

It starts again

This one is redder

This one, that one, which one

Hey, we’re comparing again
Hey, look at her

Her apple

It’s a strange, unfamiliar shape 
A circle forms instantly

Twisted, fragile, and lively

Giving in again

Being praised, what happened?

Dizzy, so dizzy

Hey, we’re being greedy again
A black hole in my head

I’m about to be swallowed up
I’m being made to dance in someone’s miniature garden

Dancing to the tune of a dressed up apple

Hey
Let’s just eat it

This is just a fruit

Quitting this competition

Gulping down the skin and seeds
Hey, look at me

A wonderful, round space in my palm
Spreading out past my fingertips

Becoming aware of the world
Hora mite mite

Tenohira ni wa akaku ma aru-i ringo o nosete
Dochi no hou ga ama-i

Ano kono kono kono sono kono

Mata hajimaru

Kochi no hou ga aka-i no

Kore sore dore

Hora mata kurabe teru
Hora mite mite

Ano kono ringo

Mita koto na-i fushigi na katachi
Ishun de wa ga dekiru

Ibitsu de morokute nigiyaka

Mata nabi-i-(i) teru

Doushi chatta no mote haya sa rete

Fura fura fura

Hora mata hoshi-(i) gatteru
Atama no naka no black hole

Nomi koma reso-u-da-(a)-(a)-(a)
Dareka no hakoniwa de odora sa rete

Dress(ed?) up shita ri-n-go ni mado wa sare

Hora
Isso tabete shima-ou

Kore wa tada no fruits(?)

Ichi nuketa konpetishon

Gaburi to kawa mo tane mo
Hora mite mite

Tenohira ni wa po kon to ma aru-i suteki na kuukan
Yubi no muko-u ni hirogatte iru

Seka-i ni (seka-i ni) kidzuite
ほら 見てみて

掌には 赤く まあるい 林檎をのせて
どっちのほうが甘い

あの子の この子の その子の

また始まる

こっちのほうが赤いの

これ それ どれ

ほらまた比べてる
ほら 見てみて

あの子の林檎

見た事ない 不思議なかたち
一瞬で輪ができる

歪で 脆くて 賑やか

またなびいてる

どうしちゃったのもてはやされて

ふら ふら ふら

ほらまた欲しがってる
頭の中のブラックホール

飲み込まれそうだ
誰かの箱庭で 踊らされて

ドレスアップした 林檎に惑わされ

ほら
いっそ食べてしまおう

これはただのフルーツ

一抜けたコンペティション

がぶりと皮も種も
ほら 見てみて

掌には ぽこんと まあるい すてきな空間
指の向こうに 広がっている

せかいに 気づいて
