南の島の人々が自然災害の後で苦しんでいる頃、北の大陸のある町の人たちは自分の町の交通局に日頃の不満を打ちまけた。

努力を忘れた２１世紀の労働組合員達は仕事中に居眠りをし、自分達の誰よりも恵まれた境遇さえも忘れてしまう。

地下鉄のプラットホームでは赤十字の人が南の島へ送る募金を募って叫んでいて、僕は約束の時間に遅れまいかと思いながら、財布から５ドル札を出して募金箱へ入れた。

５ドルの募金で何ができるのだろうと地下鉄の駅から出た時に思い、資本主義の中で暮らす僕のちっぽけな収入のことを思う。ちっぽけでも僕は恵まれている。

でも、その境遇が明日にでも一変してしまう可能性も拭えない。

揺れる大地の上でそんな人間たちが今日も蠢く。



When people on a southern island is suffering from post natural disaster, people in a city on a northern continent throw their everyday frustrations onto the city's transit bureau.

21st century unionized workers, who forget how to improve themselves, take a snooze at work, and they even forget how to appreciate their own blessed milieu, that is superior to anyone else in the city.

On a platform of subway, a Red Cross man is shouting to collect donations to send them to the southern island, and I put a 5 dollar bill in the donation box while thinking if I would be late for an appointment in my mind.

I start to wonder what 5 dollars donation could do after exiting from a subway station and I think about my own small income to live in this capitalism world. Even it is small, I should appreciate it.

Though, there is a possibility that my circumstance could change dramatically in a day, like tomorrow.

There are always such people who wriggle, even today, on this shaky earth.
