heaven is a displacement on earth a submerged gorge and three constant burgeoning forth of ten thousand clouds born of rock and shivering bamboos i always lose my way in a forest of i must do it // this way can’t see the wood for the freeze! giant eels careening in overtly familiar territory

stadium
1. my life is not a bare ruined discotheque 2. you have lost a lot of weight from wearing braces 3. he heals his pain of being impure at heart 4. by riding a bicycle 5. around the lake at hangchow 6. plum blossoms stop in mid-air 7. the green water shimmering 8. i cannotContinue reading “stadium”
fora
1. i think i may have found the key 2. no-mind in hyper-intellectual tzu-jan 3. i feel like punching my lcd monitor 4. when i found out it was early 2009 5. i could’ve made you happy 6. i could’ve pulled the rug from under you 7. but i’m in way over my head 8.Continue reading “fora”

turangga-rangga (v.2)
buat @pepsigolda selesai. dalam kerumunan sale dan penggorengan keramik. mau kuukur hujanmu dalam measuring cup? mumpung masih diskon. IDR250k atau menonton janet jackson. begitu susah memesan aisle dalam penerbangan airasia. tidak perlu lagi npwp, hanya customs tax yang harus dipecahkan dalam botol anggur. selamat malam, rokokmu terbalik. kau menghisap ujungnya yang berapi dengan kegeramanmu. jompo.Continue reading “turangga-rangga (v.2)”

“my friend is moving into this place” “i like this place!” (steering car) “i don’t” “it’s just so grey.” “don’t you like the baseball diamond?” “the corners are missing. wabi-sabi.” (stopping car) “i like it i guess.” “you…” (kissing passionately for two minutes. your lips felt hot. our teeth reconnoitred.) “why didn’t you tell me?”Continue reading “force quit”
