After failed rules, regs gone awry,
-values with no standard
-worth with no weight

we face, each the other, we face
screens and see reflections,
into the glass,
darkly
saying all our mind is willing to share,
if you care, or if I dare, you know?

-- I think of a dog friend I have;
-- she speaks her mind, with her eyes…
-- looks at me, as if she felt me think of her,
she wags her tail,
sometimes,
it seems such things are happening

just because I think
this or that
occurs to me and thus, to you, in your role,
in your time.

I notice, there, in my future, you do, too.

one day in May
it felt like April
    cold in the morning
    raining at lunch time
    hot in mid-afternoon
    cool in the evening
    frosty at night

nature sure has its peculiar ways
and our weather services struggle
to predict and understand

voted out of office
with over 7 million votes more
     and a clear majority in the electoral college
for his opponent

the sore loser
has turned Zombie influencer

desperately clinging to tatters
of dwindling power

in a streetside diner, i greeted an old man

"magandang hapon po," i said

"hinde." he said. and he threw up on the flower ***

and in that moment, i knew it was not

COME ON *****

the sky is darker than jet

I KNOW YOU WANT IT

i can smell the torrents from another town

HIT ME NOW

my cigarette feels the wind of an angry god

SHARE SOME CATHARSIS WITH THE GROUND FOLK

and let me feel the power of faith

COME ON

IT'S ME

YOUR BIGGEST FAN

until your neighbor knows how beautiful you are

"Dulu aku pernah merasa kalau dicintai dan diterima saja sudah cukup, ternyata sisanya hati dan pikiran jadi babak belur"
Dia tertawa sangat puas, "Lalu? Kapan kamu sadar ternyata manusia punya tiga wajah?"
