Pogi Rock
Start out with a starry,
vacuous night, then follow it up
with swimming underneath the waves.
We in this trade make it sound
so damned easy: lagi na lang
umuulan, always there is this rain,
pounding on the roof, jeepney
sounds evoking sitting under
stars, again. Of course, it all
boils down to She's already taken,
heartbreak, a broken sonnet,
love unrequited, Gemini na hindi
magbibibitiw bigla, sounds of jeepneys
traversing Ayala, walking between bars.
Everything we sing about cannot
be squeezed dry of memories. After all,
we all fall in love sometimes, sige lang,
huwag mong pipigilan, all the common
stuff we know, and iniiyak ang lahat sa akin.
She's already taken. Repeat: She's already
taken, and nobody will take me as I am.
