keeping your cool when you’re full of complaints…
July 9, 2005It’s quite hard to be cool if you’re not really that type. And pretending to be one is even harder if you’re tied to the back of an amputated carabao trying to crawl under the scorching sun. Well, how about if your balls are perspiring and itchy when you are facing with the crowd? Hmn, me, I always carry a bag even if it’s empty, use it to cover your crotch and do a small pinch on the itchy part, repeat for a few times… what a pleasure i can tell you, but don’t overdo it…, the crowd might notice.
Aiyah, these crazy thought flashed back when i saw this poem scribbled in my notebook during our holiday back home. I need to go to Pasay City and I can’t find a cab during that time so i decided to ride on a jeepney from Balagbag, Paranaque bound to Pasay Rotonda via South SHighway service road, the time is around 10:30am, started the poem around 12:00 noon and I reached the place with burning red balls. Here’s the poem…. some parts were purposely deleted.
Trapik 2
Pasaway na trapik sobra ang ‘yong lupit
Pakurap-kurap na lang sa aking pagtangis
Mapapamura ka at mapapangitngit
Buti’t mayro’ng papel at bitbit na lapis
Dugo na ang ilong sa kakukulangot
Paknit na ang batok dahil kakakamot
Sa init ng araw noo mo’y kukunot
Ang pagkainip ko’y nakakapautot
Maikli lang naman itong aking byahe
Papunta ng Pasay mula Paranaque
Sa serbisyong daan ako’y natatae
Ang kasimbilis ko’y batugan’ng bulate
Wala nga’ng magawa kundi ang magmasid
Sa kupas na ganda ng ating paligid
Kaunlarang nais kung ‘di ka masugid
‘lang mayamang lupa sa tamad magbukid

Merong nakangiti’ng parang kulang-kulang
Ang nagrereklamo wari ko’y ako lang

Binura yung ibang mga bahagi dahil sa mga masasagwang salita. Ha ha….. oo mas masagwa.
