Pinoypoets*with Idol Kris
Define: MUFFLED
What is being muffled?
Beer is the color of Listerine,
therefore, one is allowed to expect some form of cleansing.
Each swig is a ritual of sorts, anointing the teeth, tongue
and the roof of one's mouth
sanctified, all of them, washed away
like the splash of waves towed under waves.
Inebriation sanctified.
Look out, it's a fly!
A bird to eat the spine
and compel one's body to break,
break all the rules and start anew
like the phoenix rising from the ashes.
Muffled then, tell me, but are you, still?
You think you've bared it all as you tell your tales
But nobody takes you seriously.
