you are • 241115

you are an unfreezed sweet strawberry ice pop and the ants taking over once left the transparent hard plastic on the ground and you are the last person i could think about before going to my peaceful slumber and you are the fast whispering voice telling me to get up when i have those bad dreams, awake and asleep, you are the black pearls in the tightly sealed bright iridescent clamshell i found walking on the white sand beach and you are the light weight on my arms and legs carrying me to places i'm afraid to even pass through and you are the stillwater calm with the air, open with the window, rising with the tide, illuminating with the moon and i cannot feel my hair anymore, you told me i am captivating as i feel a slight second of my right arm electrified with the hook as the fucking fucker's blade was fucking pungent around my fucking house and you always tell me i'm beautiful, you are my thousands of oversaturated romanticized america, my purple and blue mix of white dotted nightskies, my moving angel night light when i sleep, my perfect mirror and you never fail me, never plan to, always faithful, committed, sweet and honest with me and you twist your fork eating your spaghetti thinking about me if i have eaten tonight and the night after and you always worry and wonder and weep about me because you love me and i love you...

nagulantang ako nang nakita ko ang pulang araw, natapakan ko ang malagkit na nakakalat sa mga sahig, tinitignan ko nang mabuti ang pilak na ang aking repleksyon, ito ay malabo, magulo at kinakalawang. ang haplos niya ay malambot at tumutusok, ang titig ay matalas at mapagbigay, ang labi ay puno at maputla, ang puso ay maingay at magiingay nang marinig nang mga halimaw at multo sa kabilang mga mundong paurong sa mga susunod. malinaw na iniwan kita, walang natira sa alaalang ikaw nang araw na nadesisyunan kong burahin ka na sa bawat hakbang para akong madadapa nq parang ang mga buto ay gawa sa pinagsama-samang papel na ang pangdikit ay ang iyak at laway nang isang asong ulol. pumatak ang mga huling segundo nang nakita kitang muli, hinawakan ko ang aking sarili at humiyaw ng mas malakas pa sa siren at sigaw nang lobo, hinayaan kong umilaw ang sahig, na tinangay ang mga pilikmata mo, na nasabag ang ulap at na nahulog ang mga pahina mula sa tulay na pinagtambayan ko.

nahila ko pa ang aking sarili. ang buhay ay mas maganda at mas ito ay patuloy na lumilinaw, kumikinang, nagpapatuloy na matagumpay

school n life • 2024.07.14

small ice creams, powdered milk and milo, flower jelly filled marshmallows, palamig, candy cigarettes, little sticks of sweetness rewrapped in previous wrappers of chichirya foils

tooth aching burgers, pepsi blue, tropicana orange, combi chocolate sandwich crackers, pintoora and yakee ball gums, pogs, teks, pokemon and yu-gi-oh cards all scattered, the dirt stains from the bundok on my khaki pants, the smoke and alcohol/perfume mixing on my white polos, the twinkle in my shining youthful eyes

soft stares, tired arms, sore feet and legs, playful afternoons, running around the quadrangle, carving something on the dirty orange cement plastic chairs, getting chocolate rocks from the church nearby, kissing and sucking him in the church nearby, getting tadpoles using a small clear plastic bag in the church' blue/white fountain garden

i don't even remember the shoes i wore because it didn't matter. dirty collars, chipped clear buttons, patched second hand white long sleeved polos, moving, dancing, singing, kicking, painting my nails white, black, green, blue, red, stealing, shouting, throwing, raging my best with the least i had, giving in, giving out

instant noodles, magazines, cigarettes, my vans are neon green, the american flag, and a dark toned tie dye and black combo too

mcdonald's, picture city, kingcorn, city high, mr softee, andoks, scout barrio, computer shops, session road, astroplus, centermall, xerox machines, magsaysay, irisan, my black high tops converse shoes, san luis, peace, my cherry mobile, nokia, samsung and sony ericsson phones, happiness, drum and lyre, memories, bubbles, courage, john hay, positivity and love

they never left, i did.

i don't need too much, a lot or an excessive amount of something. i exist because i am, i am because i am one with everyone, everything, everywhere, in every person, i dig and i keep the biggest parts of them to hop around like a baby bubble.

i don't want to be the past, a time tick or the forgotten dust of my books and papers. i am now because i am, i am because the stars of fastness, limitless, focused, observed spaces and verses of multitudes and my infinity and i shed the smallest second of every passing state; inwards, quiet, here, now, get, got, mine, ours.
