You need to get this straight from the beginning. You’re an asshole. Everybody says so. And everybody can’t be wrong. Everybody says that too—that everybody can’t be wrong. But you’re not so sure. It’s a difficult issue. It seems to you like a lot of times everybody is wrong.  \nThis may not be one of those times, though.  \nYou certainly have issues. You’re jaded. You’ve been in one place for too long. And it’s probably the wrong place. Most places are, after all. But anyway, finally you’removing. Maybe it’s a bit of a late move, but better late than never. That’s another thing everybody says. Every journey starts with the first step. They say that too.  \nMaybe everybody just says too much.  \nWhatever.  \nThe first thing you do is hurt your foot. That’s the start of your journey. That’s your first step. And it isn’t a good one.  \nYou’re stumbling to get off the plane at Kagoshima airport and suddenly ashot of pain rises from your foot like you’re walking on fire. Following the crowd of passengers along the aisle toward the exit, you’ve got your pack slung over a shoulder and your camera bag hanging free in your hand, heavy as a temple bell. You’ve barely got your feet stuffed into your silly walking shoes, and before you’ve taken your second step you feel a sharp pain rising herky-jerky from the two smaller toes on your left foot, running up into your calf. Then two more steps and it arrives, like a lick of flame, at the middle of your thigh. You feel like you’re being burned at the stake. You’re in pain.  \nAfter all your planning, all your reading, all your research. After all the time and energy you’ve already committed to this project. After all your expectations, anticipations, hopes and dreams. Now this? You’re not even out of the airplane yet, and already you can hardly walk. This is a disaster. It’s going to ruin your trip.  \nFuck a duck.  \n****  \nYou got in a fight with a guy on the plane earlier and it took all your energy. Life is exhausting, especially on airplanes, and there was nothing to do but close your eyes. You fell asleep. When you woke up your foot hurt. You’re the only person you know who can hurt himself doing nothing.  \nYou’re the only person you know who can hurt himself sleeping. People die in their sleep all the time, of course, and with any luck you’ll be one of them. Just not right away, you’re hoping. You have too many things left to do. And the first of those is to limp clumsily off this airplane. You move forward cautiously, favoring your left foot, and wincing with each step, gradually picking up the pace.  \nThen you ram smack dab into somebody’s back. Shuffling painfully forward, walking uncomfortably on your heels, which you’ve yet to get settled into your silly walking shoes, and, looking down in wonder and disgust at your size 34 feet, you plow into the back of some sorry son of a salary man.  \nYou had taken your shoes off before falling asleep, and now only your toes are firmly in them—ridiculous platypus like slip-on things, soled with some modern cookiecutter substance that promises to be slip-proof, water-proof, and most of all fashion-proof. They’re supposedly made for walking and you’ve bought them recently because walking is exactly what you expect to be doing a lot of these next few weeks. Now this! With shoes half on and half off, and pain roaring forth from the smallest toes of your left foot all the way up to your balls, you’re not walking at all, but scurrying. And you scurry smack into the back of this unfortunate fellow. You blindside him. You sandbag him. You damn near knock him over. And wouldn’t you know it? He’s the same damn salary man you were fighting with earlier on the airplane.  \nHe has been calmly minding his own business now, however, waiting patiently like everybody else to get off the plane, and you rear end him like he’s your cellmate in prison.
