My Own Game

i am already
attuned to floating on
the air on
a hammock

with my shoes on
putting my feet at the other
end

wearing a buri hat
khaki shorts
and white sleeveless shirt

then i talk on the
cell phone
though no one is on the other
line

as your group pass me by
loudly laughing

================================= ===========

anad na ako
nianang magduyanduyan
sa hangin

nagsapatos nga gipatong
ang tiil
sa uway nga duyan

nagkalo og buli
nakashort og khaki
nakasaliko og puti

dayog sulti sulti sa cell phone
bisag walay
kaestorya sa pikas
linya

samtang nanglabay mo
og nangatawag kusog
