Here, walks people wasting not a second navigating urgent missions. Without halt, in cycles coming to and from, fast and slow. We walk alongside the bobbing sea of heads and shoulders. There goes a man who is in a hurry to catch his train. While the woman will just be in time to make [...]

She told me that my father was another man, well I shrugged my shoulder and say “it’s okay”. But she didn’t know that I am writing my pain away. I came to a point of thinking about those fatherless children who lost theirs in wars, in car crashes… I am still lucky, and better-off, [...]

We lived in a world where statistics is synonymous with being number one. Measuring up in a yardstick, struggling our lifetimes competing for spaces reserved for subservient imitators of culture and class. Like crabs crowding and grabbing and pulling each other down wanting to rule the world. People above people. Force against force. [...]

His past smells of a ditch drying up its putrid stink as stale as the street air. It belongs to a smoggy neighborhood. In the memory of tattered rags flapping like flags on the clothesline. As if dreams can be scavenged out of the hilly mounds of garbage, dumping its gifts of someone else’s trash [...]

We were among those hundred innocent feet wheeling through the clouds of dusts. So close that someone shouted to stop the angry phalanx from advancing the gates. We were young bloods then. Brave as a collective force ululating vignettes about homeless families, starving peasants, weak indigents, landless tribes, friends of disappeared and the exiled. [...]

A housewife is busy at this hour. The knife slices and chops vegetables in a rhythm that synchronizes the clock. While a farmer is out on the cornfield riding a tractor, skimming the clods of soil. It’s just a regular working day. Simple. I sit here shuffling papers from a tray. Scribbling and rushing [...]

He stares at the frosted window, dreaming of pigeons in flight. Probing shadows in his oblivion while the neighborhood is asleep on this night bathed in blue light. His heart refuses to surrender to someone else’s handwriting. He’s an outsider, perhaps a victim. No one knows how he spent hours imagining a beautiful [...]
