i.
some days he is the broken seashell and
he holds himself to his own ear to better hear the ocean tremble.
some days
he is torn apart by sharks and machines
while bystanders on shore capture him
with waterlogged cameras.
ii.
he’s afraid of dripping saltwater
on his old brown notes about her.
iii.
her life is of redundancies and
pseudo-orgasms
iv.
he drank the night away alone
in a table for two,
he sounds like typewriters,
looks like melting snow
v.
she’s been watching movies about
happiness, misspelling the word
in her head… happypenis
vi.
they’re going to get a room after
he hails a taxicab
vii.
his uniform, ironed by his beloved wife
shoes, shone by the city rain

7 tables in a kapehan: a tanned guy with shell anklet and a guitar case, a couple studying Medicine books, an aged woman with red hot lipstick and red shoes, weird-dressed guy with tunnels, guesswho, PDAing lovers, the catnapping sekyu. dunkin donuts, corner plazoleta gay. 2am.

Sana mahila natin minsan si Pambie para makapagkape tayong tatlo.
(So I’ll finally meet you is the underlying motive. Nyaha.:D)

Posted by modernpatadyong at September 3, 2008, 6:01 pmThis is another remarkable element of your goddamn beautiful poetry. You mix the beauty of sentiments and the ass-kicking wits. We are the same, there is Starbucks near my pad and I stay there for hours just thinking of people and writing about what’s running on their heads. Rock on ass!!
