Once, the man under the moon said: Eloquence is our sword, ambiguity is our shield.
But the sword is getting rusty for lack of a whetstone. And, often, a whetstone is another sword.
This shield is getting stale for there is no force to batter it and make it rattle like the metal it used to be. Turn it back to armor by giving it fight.
Bring out your sword, man under the moon! Bring it out and let's duel in delinquent delight.

Once, the man under the moon said: This is for us who write what we never mean and who never mean what we write.
Once, the man under the moon said: It is always by what is lost, not by what is gained.
Once, the man under the moon said: Words are barriers we build to block the wind that takes our thoughts away.
And, once, the man under the moon said: "Tae, ang boring nang magsulat eh. Pero subukan ko ulit."
Tae ka. Lagpas na ng isang taon yun ah. Bumalik ka na kaya sa pagsusulat. Alam kong binabasa mo 'to! Haha!

Misunderstandings will never go the distance in this quintessential bono-con-bono-sepaga relationship. And that's always a good thing, isn't it? Often, we hurt most those we love the most. Oh, yes. A trick-question purgatory. And I am left to wonder about the past yet again.

Happy times. Only, it is so empty.
