What use have you for now that you’ve got? First gender, then fingernails, and then the biscuit crumbles. Showers upon discovering who feigned both Reading and Comprehension. Remittance did suggest you quit modelling and start saving. For some reason, papa said let there be spaces. Always in fits and curves, absently spelling your middle. Worth survives, dying for its share of toothy grins. How they said it elsewhere about placing a call. How she enters you, by asking after your wounds.

After the spell it hits you. You weren’t as in on it as they were.
You’ll just have to make do with the tarpaulin blankets,

Be happy they’re happy.

It’s too many tiptoes past the storybooks now so
When you miss someone it isn’t round the clock missing.

Not as if we chucked an elbow, a house was done with us.
It’s more of. No not a dream then you wanted back in.

All along. Or you know: some eggshell unreleased.
I left the country but the mouse would not, let. Not, it, either.

This stuff is coarse, but who goes around begging off
Whistling yay for polymers? Let me

Ring to say how lucky your children / children to be. Sweet
That lady cocooned somewhere baking something for you;

When down the middle cut we the class,

Our sleeves too bleached for messages.
You had no permit, throwing up on these orchids.

Die Philosophen

...haben die Welt nur verschieden interpretiert; 

es kommt aber darauf an, sie zu verändern.

—Karl Marx, "ad Feuerbach" 

hanggang ngayon
naipaliwanag pa lamang ang daigdig sa iba't ibang paraan
ang mahalaga ay baguhin ito

hanggang ngayon
nakabuo pa lang ng sari-saring pagkakabatid sa mundo
gayong ang kailangan ay ilihis ito

hanggang ngayon
kanya-kanya pa rin lang ang interpretasyon sa mundo
modipikasyon sa mundo ang importante

hanggang ngayon
ang mundo ay nabigyang-kahulugan pa lamang
sa pamamagitan ng ilang pamamaraan

ngunit karapat-dapat na ito ay pagbutihin
hanggang ngayon
may iba't ibang lapit sa pagkilala sa daigdig

gayon man ang mainam ay kung mapapaigi ito
hanggang ngayon
nalapatan pa lang ang mundo ng magkakaibang pagturing

makabuluhan sa bagay na ito ang pagwawasto
hanggang ngayon
napangatwiranan pa lamang ang daigdig

gamit ang mangilan-ngilan ding pambihirang paraan
bagamat ang paksa ay ang mga pagsusog dito
hanggang ngayon

naipahayag pa lang ang sari-saring turing sa daigdig
pangunahing bagay ang pag-iba sa daigdig
hanggang ngayon

iniintindi pa rin ang mundo kumporme sa maraming diskarte
pero rebisyon mismo ang punto nito
hanggang ngayon

pinangangatwiranan pa rin lamang ang mundo
sang-ayon sa kung ano-anong metodo
ngunit ang layunin nito ay mapalitan

hanggang ngayon
inuunawa pa lamang sa iba't ibang paraan ang daigdig
nasa pagbago ng daigdig ang saysay

Agua de Mayo

You follow the news that follows them, never submitting. Composure, babe, and seedlessness in the beauty of watermelons. Words on loan allow more closure: lollipop, abominable, tollbooth. Such parties gagged by the concerned; the hero minted. The cloud’s shape asked you out for a spin. If sitting by your side means missing your bas-relief. If watching your nose crinkle must part our fingers. Distant, dutiful, the color emanating what was at stake. Collect them in a row or shall we choke.
