just before the first firecrackers of the fire ox

he has sipped his last wine
just outside the temple, in between beggars and thieves
just before the first firecrackers of the fire ox
just and just
and just

his flute is broken
his words unspoken

"she will come from india",
wishpered a chinese girl in shiny cheongsam,
she resembles maggie, in the mood for love

he has collected quite many lonely hearts
in his old leather bag.

his ol' revolver is irrelevant now

when kung-fu
is just an unpopular extra-curriculum activity
only for the weak at heart

again he walk the lonely walk
walk and walk
and walk

lumajang, miles away. i'm still stuck in this god forsaken smoggy town

tweet,
thou shalt not tweet, god once said.

daughter,
don't call me daughter, eddie once said

lumajang,
gained weight,
just ate two bungkus rujak kacang
with ten chillies, arief once said

lumajang,
miles away.

i'm still stuck in this god forsaken smoggy town

jakarta ten years after

they call it soul

i call it jakarta

where the giants run amok in 1966, 1996, and 1998.

about a cleric who loves satanic tunes

he listens to the pirated mp3 files
about satan, hell, and inferno

so he has something to talk about
in the eternal waiting room

will walk slowly to cold november rain

the november rain will
come out from the axl rose's cloudy eyes

let's just hope that
the rain
will always heal the pain
and
will not feel the same

november,
it is not the right time to be insane.

picked up by def leppard just before maghrib time

here i am sitting
i am not waiting
remembering instead

"pour some sugar on me. honey"
the choir said

take the ride!

"rocket, yeah!"
"see the light in blue"

can you guys fly pass the time warp?
can you do it carp?

as if the sun fell ill

i think it's darker..
"you forget to open your windows," you said.

the wind stood still
as if the sun fell ill
"stop me! i am tearing this month's page"

11:12
its too late to blow the candle as it already turned into swan.
