Waters of Alkali

There there I was. Butt-ass naked and sitting on a stone. To the left, a naked man, to the right a naked man. And just a few stones down was my friend Tomo who I had just met 1 hour prior to gettin totally nude. One week and 2 days into my 3 month stay here in Japan, I find myself at a traditional bathhouse or onsen in Jindaiji, Tokyo, submerged up to my neck in steamy cola colored water with a washcloth on my head, relaxing. I feel like I have been here for months, but reality is that its only been 1 week. I have neglected to start at the beginning, but I suppose now is the time. Thats right, I'm about to drop acid and take a subconcious journey to the back of my brain.
