COFFEE ON THE TABLE.

Coffee on the table

Running cold

Is it me or the warmth doesn't flow?

Egon Schiele on the wall

Above the reach

People come, people go

Some will stay, who knows?

Egon Schiele painted faces of people

in colors and in shades of grey

Remember

while the favor fades

Such value, long gone away.

Coffee beans 

but powder in my cup

Schiele

but no painting or such

Printing is a convenience  

Originality sucks

as it's too expensive. Who gives a fuck?

It's really cold

The coffee in my cup

I want to stay here forever

Life is a woman

The only thing predictable is the unpredictable

Live the moment

Let loose or be troubled

Don't make sense. Make dollars

Think of no money

Do further

Egon will relive

Schiele will make sense 

We'll get beef.

NONSENSE RHYMES.

"Dim sum
I want dim sum
Or steak and fries
Iced tea."


"I made my mom made it."


"The weather was amazingly pleasing
I and my cat were sitting by the window
while I was waiting for the water to boil."


"I think they only pee to please
for the sake of the script they're given."

Above were some of the lines from my conversations with my friend. All unconsciously rhymed or sounded like a poem. Many are left somewhere in my inbox. We shall conquer the history later if 'later' I remember. 

Below are lines from my friends' conversations with me I liked the most.

"My lunch in primary school
Chicken soup and sticky rice once more
Made my mom made it.
Now it's a haiku
A terrible haiku"


"It rained at 5:30
And the weather was amazingly pleasing enough
Cat sitting by the window.
There you go
Now it's a haiku"


"Snickers makes me feel like a fat American."


"That beauty after punk and before hiphop is a great transition for the subculture
That gap is called the blank generation."


"No one cares that you are drinking alone watching people
So you can enjoy life one slice at a time."


"That's the great thing about humanity.
The invisible, yet tactile connection between each other."


"You don't need to prove me anything. I'm convinced."


"I won't even waste my time on you if I think you're shit."


"Trời ơi mày có cổ phần ở đấy hả em"

HAIKU CHALLENGE.

"I can smell the sarcasm all the way across the Pacific Ocean."


"She seems so.. ancient."
(talking about Britney Spears today)


"It is dark outside
 I am so sleepy as fuck
 This still a haiku?"


"Violence, a disease
 Travelers beware, fear, pity
 And the man breaks."

"Prickled, she said:
 Oh Cersei how you have lost
 Only joy I found."

"Violence, a disease

Lost travelers, you beware

Luck is a thin thread."

"Arya, my love

Stabbed in the guts, gasp of fear

Reborn from water."

"Not big yet so proud
 The young Lady Bear proclaimed:
 Sixty two good men."

"Amazing

I'm proud of you

Stop haiku"

"Stop haiku she said
 Little did she would have known
 He had twenty more."

POEM: THE USUAL TEA.

Hot Earl Grey.

Japanese messenger's bicycle.

Old house in Trang Tien alley.

As seen at Lukas.

The little garden.

Hanoi swings in the cold of winter
Gives us time for cookies and tea
Dipped into the liquid
Softened with ease.

"No Dignity" played
Smoothened in jazz
Leather shoes danced
It wasn't bazaar.

Dark outside
Half past 5 no less
Tea ran out
Should have already left.

Jamie.

POEM: I LIKE TO SIT IN THE DARK

Copycat of Wayne Thiebaud. Lemon Cake. 

I like to sit in the dark. 
Even when it's daytime
Any where I choose will blacken
And my fingers will rhyme.

I like to sit the dark.
Beneath a ceiling of stains
Sipping tea in steam so hot 
That my lips could taste the pain.

I like to sit in the dark.
Nostalgic feelings delivered by fall
Soft breezes surf the greenish face
Reminding people what is lone.

I like to sit in the dark.
Disagree with the sun so bright
He comes up to lighten my faith
Bless those eyes no longer are blind.
