Panic Poetry (2006)

 

 Panic Poetry 

by Romar A. Pabustan (2006)

The knights went to the scorching hot desserts; 

A steaming mountain of a bird's dung;

A crowd prances on a rally with happiness; 

Five little beggars watch Sesame Street on a shop window;

Old and Rickety tree in the Woods but glittery;

Comedy troupe on the dim basement; 

UFO on a cloudy mackerel skies; 

Sunspots on a hideous mad bespectacled scientist;

Microscopic earth seen by a public elementary teacher;

Hades' celebration of a yuletide season; 

Candle-like melting faces of pupils in a classroom;

A million of hovering legless cockroaches;

Galloping rainbow horses in beta movement;

Bulldozing a hill of silage in a rooftop;

Group of Inuits worshipping a huge dream catcher;

A vortex underneath the old pew;

A jeepney drives in a mobius strip;

a mauve colored flock of birds flying along the highway;

a matchstick that can make a place dark when ignited;

Whirlwinds made of koi fish running on the road;

Getting foggy and foggier...

Footsteps.

Footsteps.

Footsteps.

Gone.

WHILE IN THE HOLY MASS (2006)

 

 WHILE IN THE HOLY MASS

by Romar A. Pabustan (2006)

Kids at play with giant red balloon;

Fat lady laughs harder like a donkey;

Snoozing grandpops in a long pew;

A praying prostitute on a fuchsia bikini;

A hologram of hovering S.S. Enterprise;

A hooded futureman genuflects on the altar;

Cellphones starts to sing indistinctively;

An old crippled man throws pixie dusts in the aisle;

Group of anarchists smoke rainbows behind the wall;

Two headless jugglers on a unicycle in the churchyard;

Colossal dildo-shaped statue next to bell tower;

A handsome trillionaire marrying a line of brides;

An advanced cyborg selling popcorns and drinks to deacons;

A teenage gangsters with baseball bats during homily;

introverted fireman burning a pile of travelogues and Bibles;

Short native [Americans] Indians on war against themselves;

A pillory and gallows controlled by an app;

Full-frontal nude photo of Loraine on Time Magazine;

A pitbull peeing on wall of famous company logos;

mother butlers jumping on golden trampolines;

Group of widows playing pokers on tablets;

Sweet smell of sinigang coming from incense;

Melting colorful candles on the doorstep;

an autistic savant playing Pater Noster on marimba;

An LGBT military troop singing as a choir;

A bishop reading tabloid on a hammock;

Obese Irish man playing crucified Christ;

a little Siamese twin puking on red carpet;

A white rabbit passing by and singing Alleluia!;

The priest threw the Bible, grabbed the megaphone

and shouted:

Repent!

Repent!

REPEEEEEEEENT!

[All people nodding on a blast of heavy metal rock riff!]
