Ichigo ni Ichido

The slogan's a good cliche,
Quite social, carpe diem,
Zen, martial: this is your chance;
You will not get another.
Human to rehearse ourselves
For the single occasion,
Make it discipline, respect,

A rule. We come this way once,
We remind ourselves often.
Yes. All similarities
Are uniquely incomplete,
But preparation's pointless.
No one masters the language
Of infinite tones, not one.
