I write, but I am not a writer.
Bad Investment
This country saves me numbers
but takes so much from my flesh,
my bones,
my blood.
As the account compounding,
my chest too pounding,
my lungs wheezing,
my skin rashing.
My life is good on paper,
but paper burns,
burns make smokes,
smokes suffocates.
This country saves me numbers,
but costs me souls.

If I Met Them Then
Last night, I had dinner at my parents’.
Their wedding picture above the piano,
It’s been hanging there for as long as I remember.
There, smile the newly pronounced
Husband and Wife.
They are my age.
In three months it will be my turn.
The man has my face shape,
The woman, my eyes.
I wonder, if I were to sneak into the wedding,
If I were amongst the crowd,
If I met them then,
Would they recognize me?
Could I be their friend then?
Or would we be into completely different things?
Would they be giving advices in words
Untangled in emotions and obligations?
Or would I be the one sharing things I think I know more of?
Things like millennial relationship advices,
financial how-tos I watched on Youtube.
Or how to raise their sons just like they did in the future,
With one or a few more things,
So that their first son can be less inclined to regret.
If I met them then,
Could they understand me better,
Or could I understand them better.
If I met them then,
Could I understand me better?

In the end, I didn’t sleep.
2 AM.
I thought it was 5.
Is it the flu
or is it the fever of my mind?
4 AM.
Need 5 more hours of sleep.
At 9, I’ve got to work.
At 11, an important meeting.
In 10 days, turning 29.
6 AM.
347 months,
and 20 days I was building me.
But, the past 11 months
I had to learn hard about others.
8 AM.
The past hour.
2 random thoughts.
3 little coughs.
8 passing cars.
In the end, I didn’t sleep.

From the boy who apologizes.
To my parents,
for sometimes choosing
to close my door.
To Fanny,
for being afraid to see
you push yourself too hard.
To my brother,
for all the curious things
I did to you as a child.
To my other relatives,
for choosing work over lunch.
To my friends,
for being loose with my words..
Finally,
To myself,
for apologizing to everyone for
living a human life.

As the rain falls, we walk away.
We let go obligations to foster real connection.
We replace numbers with something priceless.
We leave some work behind to do the actual work.
We may fall, but we walk away.
