there

and there they were
seen it all
can anybody blame them?
it just was bound to happen

how they formed shapes
soft o shapes?
yet still too hard?
for the wind to blow

is there any meaning to this?
to this wondrous flight
moving as they kept still?
going up and down in one place?

they did not care for answers
all they could do they did
they watched
they watched

DO YUPPIES DREAM IN ELECTRIC SLEEP?

the supervisor
with his ralph lauren suit
and gucci boots
is giving me the panasonic eyes
his fascist views spew invectives
laced with force-fed starbucks realism
a cough
a crack of voice on sinewy strains
a grunt strewn into the dancefloor
(a.k.a. the sweatshop)
not his voice for he speaks the language
of capitalism
as he brushes his ozone-breathing hairdo
the other end of the line spiels
“oh this is bullshit!”

“oh we’re doing everything we can sir”

says i

a prompt reply
while wondering
if someday machines
will upset the status quo
and synthesized
such a deserving comeuppance
for his brute master

a few days from now i will get laid-off
but thats ok I guess
i will be another sheep
lost in the shuffle
(while the fat son of the manager
doesnt give a shit
about his new ipod shuffle)

we are all ****ing sheep aren’t we?

BOPLICITY
(inspired by a Miles Davis tune of the same title)

billowy brims

what’s beautiful

SNAKE

Slither hither
a smile
through the crowd:

serpentine
through chatter
and waiters

and plates
and wine glass stems
and heads

and arms
and torsos
and feet

Slither hither
a grin
and a last move to a win:

your back
through the door
and out.

favorite Emily Dickinson poem!

Because I Could Not Stop for Death

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labour, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.

naay book of haikus ni kerouac sa fully-booked ayala. nakapalit ko ug duha ka libro ni kerouac pero ako gipahuwaman puros. lisud pangitaon. if ur into druggie novels (in the vein of Irvin Welsh's Trainspotting, but not really), susiha ang Naked Lunch ug Junkie ni William Burroughs.. available sa national bookstores ni sya.
