Similar species that came first are Marrian Ching's "This Feels Like a Song," Alyza Taguilaso's "Play: List (or, Why I Never Let The Boys I Love Listen To The Music I Like)" and my, er, mash-up "LateralobZen." I numbered this with "[i]," implying a "[ii]," "[iii]," and so on. Sana ma-pull-off ang serye. Olrayt, eto na, bahala na:

defragmentation [i]
From the depths of his deep darkened hole [01], let me watch
the last living rose quiver [02]. With qualms that I speak
of the wrists that I cut [03] breathing slowly, mechanical
heartbeat [04] full of dead leaves,
bits of twisted branches [05] giggle
and the flames grow higher; dance in a circle
around a central fire [06], haunting familiar
deja vu, I know your end is coming soon [07];
cast a spell on the country you run
and risk [08] all the man in me to be
the dog you wanted me to be [09]:
Turn to the gates of heaven,
to myself be damned [10] quick to the throat
in this ink cartridge funeral [11],
unholy water quenches the thirst [12] with the prophets
on a mission of salvation, cities falling, nations
falling nations [13].

Let me share a quote: "The world of literature is a universe in which it is possible to establish whether a reader has a sense of reality or is the victim of his own hallucinations." -from "On Some Functions of Literature" by Umberto Eco. Back to reading and finding out whether I am of the former or the latter lot. :L
Here's an Easter Nuclear Rabbit, for your pleasure:
