Poetry: Emotions

The Wolf

Look, Sheila

this is the key to my extra condo

and this is the key to my BMW

they are there waiting for you

at your pleasure.

This angmo here works under me

I’m his boss

How many people in this city

can have angmos as their subordinates?

Though I’m limping

I can give you the best in this world

You don’t have to serve coffee again

You don’t have to look at

the unfriendly faces of these customers.

Why can’t you just accept it ?

Opportunity never knock twice

Please think it over

I shall give you two days

to decide

After which I shall bring in

a Philippino girl from Manila.

and I shall never come to this

cafeteria again.
