You
used
me
as an in-between go-between
of pairs of shoelaces
you'd ruined
and strung together,
undoubtedly the rubberband
resilience
you'd planned to get rid of
                     as soon as
you found another yard of y-a-r-n
to bindyourselfto
                      (to bind yourself with)
/two/
You
wore
me
out as an escape to the neither-here-nor-there
of the song your slingshot sneakers rocked hard to,
then ditched me the
second
second you booked a
 (round trip)
ticket
       to the
e v e r y w h e r e
you'd always wished you'd had

/ ?/
You
skipped
(me)
, a hopscotch number you didn't
want to gamble on,
to risk losing (that ticket) for,
nothing
save for a smudged number on the pavement
 waiting for you to fly
over
 it

/four/
I
watch
you
, as I walk away
,as you
 fall,
struggling to unknot
the tangles
               in your
shoelaces
     come

Psych test tomorrow.Haven't finished studying the fifty pages or so of text.Hurray.It's all going to be over pretty soon.Looking forward to Boracay and tans and not reinforcements and case studies. BTW, in the Princess Diaries, Michael Moscovitz's dog is named after Pavlov, this psychologist who experimented with conditioning.It figures;his parents are psychologists.And,his band,Skinner Box, is also some psychological term.Haha.

I found Ramos's USB.Hurray.I don't ahfta save up to buy a new one.

Doc Mara kinda walked out on us today.And,yeah.I know I'm supposed to feel extremely guilty 'cause I was part of the class that drove him out with alleged dancing and supposed slouching,but...no,I just don't feel sorry for him. I mean, even if we're top five kids, we're still kids. Kids slouch and do goofy dances all the time.No, it's not meant as some outright form of disrespect;teenagers just get hit with this ADHD-like thing once in a while.They get restless;you can't let them stay still on their asses-er,chairs-for one and a half hours of tortlecture.So,yeah.Give 'em-give US-some leeway.

Sometime during Math, Apo and I were scribbling trigger-happy lines on grid paper.
:::hyperventilating never felt this good:::

smile your way through static,
so all the world's let down,
so all the world's a letdown.
number the creases
that count for contagious,
that pass for pretending.
stitch up that lingering laugh,
so nobody has to know,
so no one has to know
(you'd fallen inches short of being the happiest boy in the world).

Whoa. I feel so guilty for not having posted anything here for so long. It's been about two months since the prom,long enough to forget whatever happened there, so I guess I won't be telling stories about that wonderful*gags with sappiness* night.HAHA.
Anyway,it's halfway through summer, and I've been attending this Ateneo Junior Summer thing with seventy-one people who are waaaay smarter than I am.Oh,well.I have to wake up at 6 A.M.  just to be able to get to Katipunan at 8.Yeah,it's pretty dreadful for someone like me, who usually sleeps 'til noon and stays up 'til the witching hour, but at least I keep myself busy with the AJSS classes.

Oscar de la Hoya lost. Damn. He should've won. He got all except the latest rounds. Yep. You could say "fixed" again. He's hot pa naman. Haha.
