This Was My Response Poem by RIC BASTASA

that the younger daughter of
Xenon recently has been caught
on video

sex scandal of some sort
that made her drug addict father
so mad

and that the mother was so
embarrasses that she does not want
to go to the market again

the whole week Nena closed her
door and sobbed

i am still wondering if i really like
that fact, all i can say is this:

we are not supposed to intrude
into the bedroom of other people

it is none of our business and
so we must shift the topic:

let us talk about how we can move on
with our lives

it is 2012, and there is this Mangyan calendar
and it will be weird
and hmmm, not really that interestting

end of the world again? shift topic,
let us talk about money instead.
