Writing the Day

According to legend, King'Arthur always gathered all his knights at the round table for a feast and a quest on Pentecost:

"So ever the king had a custom that at the feast of Pentecost in especial, afore other feasts in the year, he would not go that day to meat until he had heard or seen of a great marvel."

here seven thousand miles away from Osaka
where every line counts as seven beats.
