Sitting in a quiet room
Sipping cups of green tea
We talked about something
"That afternoon was the very best afternoon of my life,
And the very worst afternoon." I said to you.
"It can't possibly be both!"
Ordinarily I'd agree.
But the truth is that afternoon
Really was the best and the worst of my life
If I had never met him,
I would not have become a geisha.
