my little ode to the random picture screensaver of windows xp

i died this morning
and flew to heaven jump-roping
and memories went by smiling
in a screensaver of randomness

i ended up bathing
weary and, of course, tiring
from all the flying and jump-roping
and randomness spilled close by

i dried off, towelling
and there, found myself dying
put on my face and clothing
and caught some of the randomness

and randomness in hand, i sighed
and, at last, promptly died
and woke up bathed, clothed and dried
in a heaven of random memories spilled

i was offerring my friend 30minutes worth of writeup i tried whipping out of the blue for the guy. It was nice then but on re-reading... Mr. Douglas Adams' technique is very catchy, lets leave it at that.

Somehow the conversation veered itself away from the heart-felt garble i spent 30minutes on and turned to ff10 music, which casually lept into a certain gift which supposedly should have left my hands 2yrs before. It lept in there with my heart and knives a-flashing. And i blurted this out.

ibaon na lang sa unan.
... then 'sleep'ed away from any more talk. next morning, i electronically scribbled this down.

ibaon sa unan
at ilibing sa panaginip
ang alaalang nasaktan
at pagkainip
... i think all those sad filipino songs are starting to take their toll.
