I have little tolerance for people like me

Yes, I keep seeing triple L's out there. Triple Losers. Jesus. I'm one of them.

for the SO

i am in love with a woman
who wields a sword as if
she was breastfeeding her child.

her stare reveals the many spirits
communing within her flesh.
they celebrate their lives

through her halad.
every strike a breath
every parry a laughter.

desire played a role in my life once
but now the heart skips,
flutters at the thought of her smile.

Patrick Rosal

I finally figured out what it is about Patrick Rosal and why he is one of the vanguard of the golden age of Pin@y culture in America:

He's a slam poet but he is not the typical slam poet of MTV. There is a complexity to his poetry that is unmatched by other slammers. He is a true poet living in a slam poet's body.

i protest

i protest how time moves
from baby to boy to man
i blink and
the people i know grow
wrinkles and white hair
i pucker to kiss and
children amused by stories
giggle at my feet
i hug a child and
i am called lolo
i protest the speed of my life
i want to kiss you
and live my life again.
