"fren" poems
Fourteen years old on sensory overload.
The evening news.
Burn baby burn.
Da bomb. Sauteed mushrooms.
Drop drill in all the classrooms.
Lesee. If I crawl under this wooden desk with hands over head then
I wont end up toast ? Outa sight.
Puff That Muthfkn dragon. He still got a condo by the sea ?
I remember thinking how privileged and exciting to live in the USA.
But. Burn baby burn.
Watching late night reruns till the station signed off. No CNN then my fren.
The Duke.
Abbot and Costello meets The Mummy.
Free T.V.That was a first for I.
No T.V. In Belize. None. No gun violence either. Hmmm.
My Lai. The Panther Answer.

Yeside a did yuh birthday
However, yuh day did inadvertently overloaded
Nevertheless, mi goh to di garden
A mi heart dis beautiful morning
Weh mi pick an invisible rose weh coulda bring yuh:
Happiness, joy, health, good humor, an a premature spring.
Mi shiev aaf mi bied an mi mout fi pliiz unu
Wid all mi heart, mi wish yuh a happy birthday
Awo! Mi woulda like fi charm yuh until nightfall
Wen di rainbow cross di unheard-of sphere
Toward anodda horizon, fi anodda season
Please accept dis rose, dis poem, dis song.
P.S.: Dis poem is dedicated to a beautiful fren.

Naranasan nyo na bang ma fall sa kaibigan? Tipong di mo inaasahan,
Tapos bigla mo na lang naramdaman
Yung mapapasabi ka na lang na, ay shet! Mahal ko na si Fren!
Hindi mo naman talaga ginusto
Pero humantong ka sa ganito
Sabi mo pa nga, "Never akong mai in love kahit gaano pa to ka gwapo"
Eh halos buong araw sya palagi bukang bibig mo
Yung totoo?
Kaya't wag ka nang magkaila
Nakita kayo ng aking mga mata
Doon sa may eskinita
Ang sweet nyo pa ngang dalawa
Pero minsan naisip mo ba?
Na magkagusto sayo ang tulad nya?
Mukhang imposible talaga yata
Maganda ka naman, pero sabi nya sakin, pogi din daw hanap nya

the Thursday's I couldn't
find myself pretense
has all but run
to single syllables
darting away from
the light as if
scalded
all along and all
along you knew
didn't you
new again
instantaneous
instantiation
insta fren
listen 'gain
verbs reign
lift this part up
with your falling
fear of naught but
full enough
of listen
under look

Sojourners from the mama's womb,
Travellers from the papa's testicles,
Candidates of birth and eventually death,
Death is sweet as encrypted in the euology,
Death must come any day or some day,
Don't rush to the grave just because yu have no more light, or perhaps your heart has been broken by a cheat,
Cheats and death are not relatives.
They have different genotypes,
At tymes darkness accompanies light,
And sometimes darkness persist,
You loose what you have nurtured,
You feel the world has been turned upside down.
But before you take the step of pronouncing yourself no more,
Think about this, we are all candidates of death,
Wait and pause after all we are destined to die.
Be careful, be sensible, in kiswahili we say kujipanga my fren.

I hold these truths to be self evident
I love she who is always prevalently in my life
She's in my thoughts all over my mind
Widespread wild shrunk into one cranium.
This is why I can't contain any of them.
I'm addicted to you, fren.
I can't tell you I love you, but I did just then
9 hours 4 minutes and 30 seconds. When.
Time flies when the feelings are reckless.
My minds straight but my heart feels hectic
In love like never before what the heck man.
It's perfect it's a symphony neglected
We hear the music but keep it on the low
but the instruments remain respected.
I feel higher than ever in the passenger seat,
listening to ABBA or other more obscure beats.
Going to burger king where we dipped both our feets
in the idea of love, where you first kissed me.
Then our chicken nuggets, so saucy. bb.
After hanging by the streams my brain was fried-
my thoughts flossing
Felt safe because I remember that you never lost me.

inhale smoke
burn on the
deep way down
shrieks outside
of a slid-
ing glass door
exhale less
hurt, more fren-
zy of mind.
yellow light,
not so kind
with my heart,
still I call.
though I fight,
no one knows
anything
