Threesome

you ask me
about my birthday?

i have a birthday of course
but there will be
no party

i am tired feeding
people who can eat for themselves

this time
it will be those hungry children
in the slums
the innocent prisoners
in jail

the flood victims of iligan
and cagayan de oro

this time it will just be
me, myself and i

i will toast wine for myself
merry, merry
us in three

threesome and so
wholesome...
