I eat good and plenty
because my flesh is a culmination
of the magic of the universe
and I get to spend
every waking and sleeping
moment—!
in this flesh

Tell me how much it all really matters
when you were created
and named

despite
despite
despite

Hindi naman ako puede ma salita ang taglog
Gusto ko mag isip
Sa loob
inside
ang puso ko

I argue with my mother in a language she learned after I was born

But still
she tells me
she is proud of me

And miraculously enough
I believe her

Take care,
Andre Kim Kessel
