Ten Little Foolinians

Ten little Foolinians
with short hair in a line
One was a T-bird
and then there were nine.

Nine little Foolinians
in Amigo where they ate
One misbehaved
and then there were eight.

Eight little Foolinians
smoking as if in heaven
One suffered from cancer
and then there were seven.

Seven little Foolinians
with DOMs they would mix
One got pregnant
and then there were six.

Six little Foolinians
in colored ribbons to look alive
"Mrs. Hunter" caught one
and then there were five.

Five little Foolinians
wearing flat shoes on the second floor
A student leader apprehended one
and then there were four.

Four little Foolinians
in Malvar Gate they would flee
Strict was the "sikyu"
and then there were three.

Three little Foolinians
in tight skirts and stilleto
One was suspended
and then there were two.

Two little Foolinians
exchanging skirts in the john
But "Mrs. Hunter" saw one
and then there was one.

One little Foolinian
all alone with no one
Breaks another regulation
and then there was none.

Ang Sagot Sa Tulang "Mas Mabuting Laging Bigo Ang Isang Makata"

(alam mo nang hindi ito para sa kanya)

Natuto akong bumigkas ng "... na mo!"
matapos hagurin ng mga mata ko
ang produkto ng isip at pluma mo.
Hindi mo napansin
na nawala ang kislap
sa mapaglaro kong mga mata.
Nagtago ang ngiti.
Nagkubli ang halakhak.
Dumungaw ang kunot sa noo.
Tinawag mo ako
ngunit ibang pangalan ang iyong nasambit.
Nagulantang tayong dalawa
sa iyong naiusal.
Humingi ka ng paumanhin
na ibinigay ko naman
sapagkat wala akong magawa.
Patuloy na lang akong nakinig
sa iyong mga himutok at hinaing.
Manhid ka ngunit di mo alam.
Ako nama'y nagpapanggap na manhid na rin.

Nobyembre 4 ... Noong Akala Ko'y Retreat Ito

(paumanhin kay Tony Perez)

Ang bintana ng kaluluwa
ay kailangan ng tungkod
Ang matalinong hangin
na galling sa sutana
ay hindi makapasok
sa silid ng diwa.


Ang pagkain
sa alas dose
ay hindi kasagutan
kundi
ang pagsiping
kay Kama
Kumot,
at Unan.
