curses
when someone puts acurse tthe intention is never good
or wellintended
USualy itis to cause harm to befall aperson
Mostly it is some bodily harm to cause some
pain orinjury
the curse may have been made directly before the subject
or might have been made behind his back
the ultimate purpose is to eventually kill the victim.
some curses have long fuses the bomb is lit but tte efffect
of thecurse would not b self evident for quite a while
It may appeartthat the efficacy of tte rurse curse is
suspect and that it is totaly bunkum
ttahs when complacent sets in
The victim lowers his gard becomes careless
He neglerts looking left andright
Itt will be too late to take any avoiding action
When the speeding car loomss before him
or when the wall colapse on him
Or when the waters engulf him before the whale has
a chance with him
Yes finally he must gace face the prospect of meeetincz
his unjust l fate or is it tte unjustifiable ol unjustfied
outcome

随着自我见解,该说得就说而不该的也说,这确是一样根本的自由。
在三句经的警告中最关键的其中之一是“言不非礼”。
其它两项有关眼睛与耳朵接受从外来传的事物信息。
前者是主动的而后者是被动的。
自由的言不非礼。
言的末自由非礼。
譬如说该说的被禁止说,不该说的尽管鼓励去说, 就是言的末自由。

bushy

i am in the vocal minority of a silent majority
but even as a minor voice of a majority of local vocals
i know that it is of an unlikely proportion
in a disproportionate
colony of coronets
rippling in waves


let it come out?


i am not in hiding
yet i am covered
smothered
drowned


i am undertrampled
overstrapped


why should i braced myself
bras myself
and come out


i am not in  avoidance
yet i am in abstemity
in mourning
innundated
insul(a)ted


i am uncaged
unraged


i don't need to come out
from


why should i show it
identify
discomfit myself
when
in opague invisibility
i see myself clearer
unfazed

sleaze

today
the day i saved for
the safe day
for carpe diem
the cuppa of pepper hot hiam
plate of humming mee siam
the pot of stew
of intersticed spice
multiplied three times three


today
i freeze out
freak no more
flank out the panza pincers
plier the pike


i plong the crap







taipu

visting china on June this year. Met with the three sons of brother Ngok Kou.
the two ladies on the right are the wives of Boa Qing and Lang Fu. the picture was taken at the newly opened park fronting the river.
It is clean and refreshing being in high ground. Opposite is the path with steps leading to the top of a hill overlooking the whole township of Taipu. Or is it by now a city. Taipu is surrounded by higher ground or hills. A river flows from here to the lower Swatow.

may it be day


slop slap sleep


to work sleepless not wanting
to sleep not working wanting
strange bed fellas
tearing at each others eyes
zombiing


to think the brain not knowing howto
to brainstorm the knowledge ill gotten
meeting at the circumference
the conference not referencing


chopping water
hewing wind

i saw a small snail 
slowly sliding outside the door
not wanting to disturb it 
i closed the door
the next day i saw
a shell unfleshed in a pot
a shell damaged in part
and i wondered
was it the colour
of the shell
of the snail
i had seen
if so 
had it been broken
after the snail had left the shell behind
to further sojourn
or 
heaven forbids
great snake
stepped upon
before so gone

seemphony

holding firmly the baton
the maestro rhythmically
dips and digs
the wand wanting

letap letap letap

i go

letap letip letap letip

false trotting to the waltz


the maestro clenches a fist
to his heart
fixes me a sharp look

then flatly changing stepping
i go

taple taple taple

hara-kirri the kiri kanan

salvation


if you ask
and i ask back


do you mean am i safe
as in safety safe
as in do i wear a helmet
that prevents debris
from falling and entering
that encapsulates
the poison in the head
 that makes me unsafe


naturally i  would say 
as in not condemned safe


or


do you mean am i saved
as if i am lost in the wilderness 
with the hounds in the dark menacing
and i crying out for help


naturally i would say
tis just aim and fire thats all


oh


if you mean 
am i salvated
as only the one can invent the intervention


sadly i could only say
i am only just 
on the first step
on my way
not your way
nor his way
nor our way


might be a leap
to the stars
or the other way

circe d'loh

circles

i like circles before one
unlike most who like circles after one
this is the picture of circles before one
if you mirror image on one as axis
you would get circles after one
you would be as rich as you can be
here i would fly in the flyer
in a circle looking down on one
as poor as i can be

CX200 Road Sweeper at BrightonImage via Wikipedia
LEAVE ASIDE

last fall
a falling leaf fell
from a way side tree
along a macadamized road


along came a blower
whose whirling machine swept it
onto the curb


along came a sucker
whose twirler urged the leave
from the inplanted
told to instantly provide shades
to go into bin

this fall
a falling leave
from a forest
will gravitate
unsung
unswept
to decompose
to nourish itself
to the roots

金鵲本是自由身
奈何今为笼中囚
众人知我關金鵲
无知误解關錯鳥
醫院应是严肃地
遍地愁云漫山野
忽来震耳爆笑声
开怀一笑敌医药

痴呆如失马,
焉知不是福。
人生多风雨,
记忆徒添哭。

meant to be called nasi penek
in which i take it to be flattened rice
against which i find them elongated
tastefully firm delightfully sauced

the duck meat recycled from yesterdays leftover
more like rewashed rebottled and retasted

and theres no recipe cooked up or original
accompanying
intuitive is the institution with this sole chief chef
whose other tasty specialty is nasi bandung
or is it nasi padang
but definitly not nosi pendek

3.5 trains

Trains

Amidst the rubbles
Can you here the rumble
Of the doubters
Of the not so committed
To terrorize the terrorists
Of the you terrorize
One of us
May be you don’t terrorize
the whole civilised world

can you hear the blazed call
we are more determined
than you are determined

do you think
you can check every parcel
every exit
every entry
and then have
time left over
to worry about
your neighbours

no I do not hear
the noise has deafened me

life or what is left of it
makes a difference now
or never for me to go on

for tomorrow there will be
another war and another bombing
and nobody will remember
when or how it started
or when or how it
will ever end

Meanwhile
All eyes are wide
All ears are open
All rubbles rumbling
