Man in His Off Hours

(dan ini terjadi 33 menit sebelum aku membaca Anne Carson's Men in the Off Hours di pojok Picture Books, Kinokuniya On Five)

"please do not unwrap books seek assistance from our staff"

the staff

thin waifish

girls in

unstable pumps

tapi ingat ini terjadi 33 menit kemudian.

sebelum itu

setelah mendengar

kondektur mendongeng

tentang sore:

glodok kosong!

seorang pengamen berpunggung tembok art nouveau

bandung circa nineteenthirtyfour

seorang gadis berlengan

naga dan daun-daun

hijau

bertopi nelayan

bersuara kawakan

Lomba Karaoke Tingkat Nasional

i don't know what's wrong with odysseus

what is wrong with him?

polumetis non compos mentis!

perasaan yang aneh:

di kota yang membuatku

merentang busur:

to try to resist the song of Parthenope

kemudian menunduk

karena sesuatu yang menggantung

dari mata dan keinginan

mencium bumi.

or the

staff thin

waifish girls

in unstable

regular issue

pumps.

SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM THOSE WHO KNOW BETTER!

(mungkin kau anne, walaupun aku yakin aku sudah terlambat, lebih dari 33 menit dan 7 tahun yang telah berlalu setelah Vintage International mencetak bukumu dalam versi paperback.)

you look like you're about to cry

Rest, Assured

Satellite, thou art
way out of time, but
worry not my cling-wrapped love

I will grow wings and fly through space,
dock and wipe the bug off thine interface.
Thy will be done, before Mars goes past its prime.
