Polishing Basketball in Tokyo

by Wendy Murray

Mist rests on the narrow alley behind a Shinjuku host club, softening the neon glow of a flickering pink sign that reflects on wet pavement. An elderly man in a faded blue work jacket leans against a vending machine, carefully polishing a single old leather basketball with a rag, his movements slow and deliberate. The ball’s scuffed surface contrasts with the sleek, condensation-covered glass of the machine. A discarded paper cup sits near his feet, steam rising faintly from a nearby vent. A quiet moment of routine amidst the urban haze, the red light casting long, diffuse shadows across the damp concrete.
