living "under postponement"

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kawasaki, 2020.04.14

Out for a stress walk just now, I noticed the wacky name of the neighborhood on a pole. It's "下作延". Literally, "under postponement". How could that be the name of a neighborhood. I've been meaning to record this for weeks now, glad I finally did.

Pretty fitting given that many of our plans are in question or outright postponed, but still. Wow. "Where do you live, Michael?"

"Underpostponement, in a short-stay apartment."

"Ehhhh?"
