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.

maddening spurt:

 “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!”

he is everywhere, i see him on the sidewalks, near the bridges, he even pastes his face on the glass walls of every fast food chain.  one day, i asked him to give me his improvised bongos in exchange of adoption. he gladly refused and told me that he’s happy on the streets.

The street lights are much beautiful this month. His eyes are like splattered sap of everything amethyst. i asked him to fall in line with me that Hwebes. We ate sundae outside a busy mall, a busy world. I was staring at his hands, they told me happy stories and the sound of coins. I was telling him jokes that we have the same complexion.and maybe, he can go home with me, we will play music together.

I remember Nanay whenever I talk to dreamy people. Other mothers used to tell me “my son/daughter was Nang Vivs scholar”. We are not rich, we have never been but Nanay never failed to remind us to open our palms for the world. and yes, when I see street musikeros, there is this magnet that moves me near them. maybe, they have taught me what happiness is amidst this world of titles, noise and the cold.

 

and so in a Lunes, I saw this right after I watched the seawater glistened with the firt rays of the sun, my heart skipped a beat and i missed breakfast without feeling starved (haha):

you’re such a selfless soul i see. these peepz are ryt. the world direly needs someone like you. i can be generous and selfless as well but not to the extent of your character. perchance someday, somehow.
