simpati

Tatkala turun padang si MP pun menanggalkan 'doktor' pada pangkal namanya, lalu memakai ketayap putih, pelikat lusuh, capal dan baju melayu.

konon, meraih simpati.

feeling like a fool

is
an aftermath of
being very clever.

rupanya

Selama ini aku tidak mengerti
gumam dan diammu.

(rupanya perkataan ku tidak pernah dialu-alukan
di sini)

(rupanya kewujudanku hanya imbau pelesit
harus diasap dan dilimaukan)

(rupanya kau menyimpan kikih sinis setiap kali aku
permisi diri)

Kukumpul letargi dan intrig dan misteri
lalu kusulam tampal menjadi kolaj
sebagai peringatan:
Jangan Lalu di Sini Lagi.

Telling

The looking glass did not tell me
that I have orange cheeks
and white lips.

I found this out from my trusted
enemy.

bila bercakap

Bila bercakap
tanpa ilmu
bunyinya dungu

berdiri dengan telefon di tangan

Dia berdiri di pinggir jalan
dengan telefon di tangan
pandangannya terlempar di kejauhan
senyumannya terukir,
untuk siapa?

Remang petang lewat syawal yang suci,
dan dia berdiri di pinggir jalan
dengan telefon di tangan.

bukan ketuk ketampi

Bangselebu kuala sawa
hujan turun mandi katon
sirih rampai pinang berseri
mintak peluk tangan kiri?

tom tom bak
makyong dedek
pecah sebijik
tinggal serangkap

Ram ram pisang
pisang masak layu
jatuh dalam lubang
sambaq bapak yu
mbok mbok nyok
belalang kodek kodek
sapa mulut banyok
dia kena cubit

Sep sep sep
bom bom bom
air pasang pagi
surut pukul lima
nyonya bangun pagi
siram pokok bunga
pokok bunga melor
tanam tepi batas
itik bertelur ayam menetas

Encik baba jatuh dalam parit
Cik Aminah ketawa jerit jerit
Naik keretapi singgah Kuala Lumpur
Dapat isteri cantik sorok bawak dapur
Kit kit kuih bangkit
sapa ketawa dia kena cubit

Maybe you'd call

Maybe you'd call on Monday.
As the clock ticked away from 10 am to noon,
I thought may be you'd call after lunch.
Lunch moved on to 5pm.
I thought maybe you'd call on Tuesday.
Tuesday .
Wednesday
Thursday.
Maybe you'd call on Friday
it's your favourite day.
10am moved to noon.
Maybe you'd call after friday prayers.
3pm crawled to 5pm.
Maybe you'd call on Monday.
