    Jolography

    By Paolo Manalo

    O, how dead you child are, whose spoiled

    Sportedness is being fashion showed

    Beautifuling as we speak -- in Cubao

    There is that same look: Your Crossing Ibabaw,

    Your Nepa Cute, Wednesdays

    Baclaran, "Please pass. Kindly ride on."

    Tonight will be us tomorrowed-

    Lovers of the Happy Meal and its H,

    Who dream of the importedness of sex as long as it's

    Pirated and under a hundred, who can smell

    A Pasig Raver in a dance club. O, the toilet

    Won't flush, but we are moved, doing the gerby

    In a plastic bag; we want to feel the grooves

    Of the records, we want to hear some scratch-

    In a breakaway movement, we're the shake

    To the motive of pockets, to the max.

    The change is all in the first jeep

    Of the morning's route. Rerouting

    This city and its heart attacks; one minute faster

    Than four o'clock, and the next

    Wave that stands out in the outdoor crowd

    hanging with a bunch of yo-yos-

    A face with an inverted cap on, wearing all

    Smiles the smell of foot stuck between the teeth.
