Sometimes


Sometimes, at times…just one time
Step out of your skin and watch yourself
Listen to yourself really hard
Study yourself as if preparing for an exam
You may figure out why people treat
They way they do.
Not because they are bad or good people
But because you are who are

Happy Bob


Bob is happy
Bob does not give a damn
Bob does not care what you think

All Bob does is sleep all day
There’s nothing you can do to Bob
Because Bob is dead

Echo of Your Laughter


It rung in my head, competing with the ocean waves
It felt like a boat, sashaying in the waves
Beckoning me to the shores
The shores where your laughter reigns
Deny me anything, but not the luxury of your laughter

Don't You Enjoy How I Breathe?


Look at the eloquence of my breath
Don’t you simply marvel at how good I am at it?
I acquired this skill through endless practices
In fact, I was good at it immediately I was born
Many are not born with this skill
And there’s no other way of being good at it
Respirators won’t help. Never
They will endlessly bleep as if singing a dirge
Except the dirge tells you how whacky you are at breathing

The Wind


The wind snows
The rain raises whirlwinds
The dust floods
And the world is at peace

A Dog's Day

Every dog has its day
What day, if I may ask
Is it a birthday, ‘cause we have them too

Dogs walk around feeling special
Because they have their days 
And I will rob them. All of them

I want all the dog days
I’ll keep them in the closet
Together with my skeletons

Ask My Shoes


Ask my shoes, they’ll tell you the secret
Of why I am not talking to you anymore
Like why my feet are reluctant to walk
And find paths the lead to you

Ask my shoes, and you’ll hear them protest
They sit by the corner, feeling lonely, and black
Desolate and unwanted, because you saw me with them
Because they were not like other men's shoes  

Because shoes maketh a man, they didn’t mold me
They came short of creating an ideal man
A man deserving your undying affection
I might as well been barefoot

Ask my shoes where I have been
All the ladies I have been to
And they will tell you without saying a word
That I am lonely and desolate as they are
