You Already: Poetry Sampler

Epal the Sonnet

You already are here and somewhere else:
At someone's wake hearing wedding bells.
Your name's on the sash of a beauty queen
While your epal face on a tarpaulin.
You float with the rest of the overflowed sewer
While people around are making you mura.
Pump up your smartphone's volume and smile.
Nod like you mean it and say "for a while."
Head in the clouds but with feet in a banca,
Head on the shoulders of Paul Anka.
The water's kadiri and kakainis.
Your Metro Manila's now Metro Venice.
You have one motto: Time is gold.
You have one joke that's very old.
