take comfort in the fact
that someone out there
is taking their time

to like you.

some never had the opportunity
at best, they had read you
but you’ll never know about it

so ask yourself,
is liking you means reading you ?
or they just want you to

take comfort in the fact
that someone out there
is taking their time

to like you.

# 6 and this other poet

kaarawan pala ni idol

deviationcummeditation

me and this poet went to the same college only i was
debarred after a year for FA’s and non – attendance;

it was him in Isetann Recto, looking for a Marley fix

or get yourself raped

somewhere dark

and dirty

or get your kid raped,

or your sister,

and worst, physically abused

w/ cigarette burns

on her nipples and fingers;

the rights you fight for

eclipsed with their fear

of walking alone

going home

where it should be safe

so fuck your ideals.

where i live : deconstructed

death sings here

and doesn’t seem to stop;

habits are rejoiced

in whispers

to this house

built for people

to survive

but not to live.

trail of the dead

blinding grief can send you

headstraight to nowhere

and get you sidetracked

in surrealistic proportion

parting any blessed union

there is known

to man and God.
