Machoshit

(filipino translation)

Macho shit

Kung hihimay-himayin
ang imahe ng bawat daloy ng pangungusap
litaw ang mga salitang mayaman sa ideya
ngunit kapos sa konkretong paliwanag--
ang mga kapirasong salitang iyon
ay may gayumang mapanghalina
na unti-unting lumamon
sa kalahati ng aking kabuuan...

Bakit mo ipinalulon sa'kin
ang isang bisyong
alam mong ipinagbabawal?

(english translation)


Macho shit

If I'll scrutinize
the image of every phrases
visible are the words that are abundant in idea
but meager in precise explanation--
those portion of every words
convey an alluring redolent
which little by little imbibe
the half of my totality...

Why did you have me devoured
into a habit
that you know is wrong?


*consciously or unconsciously,there are certain men who tend to become "macho shits".
