because it happens all over again
you say: i am a retard
i say: i never learn
and sometimes your heart breaks
and the hurt rips you apart
other times you don’t care
and after all the resolves
like this is the last time
i am going to do something dumb
stupid people wandering
into your stupid life
time & seasons tell me
that this is suppose [...]

i am amazing.
this city is wonderful.
the company is awesome.

because i hate myself sometimes.
you will never understand
i only let you into my life
because i thought you are real
i am not your baby!

i have never lied to you.

this guy
over there,
weeping about:
his debts
his boss
his father
his life
– i can’t tell.
the police brutality
four feet in front of me
is almost making me sick
they think they mete justice
by beating him with pipes?
you know something’s wrong
when you choose to despise
the police
who tried to avenge you
over the felon
who tried to steal your
cell phone

that a hundred-page draft
engulfed me so i resolved
to love it and accept it
that it became a thesis
and me a graduate
reaching an all-time high

I.
ang himig ng
kanyang pangalan
ay higit sa baybay
ng mga letra
ito ay gayumang
waring nagtatanan
ng isang dalaga
ito ay may haging
ng sinag ng araw
pinakikinang ang
talulot ng pulang
rosas
parang sutla ang
salat ng bawat pantig
tulad ng bahagyang
dampi ng kamay
sa nagtatampong
paslit
II.
ang himig ng
kanyang pangalan
ay mapait na turing
sa nakaraan
dinadala ako nito
sa isang libingang
walang tanda
tila kuwento ng librong
walang pamagat
o banyagang kailan
ma’y di makikilala
parang lana ang
salat [...]
