NOSTALGIA

Pages of diary.
That scribblings on the wall,
It says, "I wuz ere".
A bag of broken marbles,
Next to a disastrous report card,
And a Megatron missing a leg.
Hey, look out the window,
There is a 30 year old shuttlecock,
Stuck on the roof half decomposed.
Under that pile of Wings of Gold,
One or two Penthouse,
... or Playboy magazines,
Featuring Ms Fox.
The drawers are full of models,
Half constructed Affix,
And a figurine of 6 Million Dollar Man.
A few menthol ciggarette butts around,
And a pirated Hard Rock Cafe cap,
With an unreturned rented video tape of E.T.
Nicely arranged Enid Blyton's,
And of course, a Muqaddam.
A Mickey Mouse watch.
An L drivers license dated 1992

BUNYI DAN MAKSUD

Ayam berkokok
Kambing mengembek
Kucing bermeow
Anjing menyalak
Bunyinya berlainan
Tapi maksudnya sama
Tapi nalurinya derita
Tapi jiwanya bergelora
Tapi sebaknya tidak rela
Manusia hina
Manusia durjana
Manusia berdosa
Manusialah sang perkosa
Hancur mungkin dunia
Remuk habis pusaka
Hilang sudah sejarah
Memang padanlah muka
Lebih baik binatang
... dari manusia
