These regulations
Are a lazy salve for our
Praise for bad leaders.
#613 On The Apex Predator
Apex predator?
Mere minutes of chasing a
Toy and she’s half dead!
#605 On A Disappointing Life
How does it feel to
Know that your life has been a
Deep disappointment?
#601 On The Mad Courage of Icarus
Inebriated
By your good fortune, you flew
Too close to the sun.
#597 On Being Out for a Short While
Out for a short while:
A mere blank pause, or is this
The end of the road?
#593 On Reading Syed Hussein Alatas
The lazy native:
A convenient fig leaf for
Your colonial crimes.
#591 On Young Girls Browsing in Bookshops
Whispered giggles are
The currency of young girls
In the budding groves.
#590 On the Atmosphere of a Bookshop Cafe
The click and flush of
The coffee machine mingles
With tepid muzak.
#589 On the Sauronic Glare
Sentinel of fire
Upon its shadowless throne:
Angry eye, glowering.
#588 On This Vicious Parade
With daggered eyes we
Scowl at the Other; age-old,
This vicious parade.
