she likes seashore naps and the view of everything from the bus window. she likes tiny moments and the small spaces between faces when people talk.

 

sometimes, she wakes up to that odd feeling of being a fallen leaf, an old tree, an azotea or a waitress somewhere-- talking to a taxicab driver about that random song on the radio.

 “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

 if life is a weekend, still, i am going to spend it this way

 with a frustrated priest. even if it takes me a wrong bus route, circumroadtripping negros,

 10 hours by bus, an hour by sea. this was supposed to be my vengeance. but there, i got my stomach bloated

 with the best-tasting food, my sleeves misted with sea-sprays, dipped my face to the depths of the earth, felt

 at home with abaca and kawayan, forgot speed by walking full of laughter, conversed with the freefalling 

 water and the hums of the trees, got caffeinated listening to strings of new vice, celebrated music at the

 rooftop, combed the city streets with a single bag, his bongo and thousands of little stories and goofiness.
