Good ol' days

They're always lurking behind your back no matter what. Forcing you to reminisce and at the same time wonder, how beautiful it would be if the concept of space and time didn't exist at all. Going back in time would be as easy as rotating a knob. Imagine if you had the chance to re-experience all of the good moments from the past. How on earth could one turn down such offer? But if all of that were true, then what would be the meaning of life? What's the point of making compromises and taking endless risks? (Honestly, I also don't have the answer for that just yet.)       

Panggung Sandiwara

Semua ucapannya kosong dan tak bermakna, m enari indah bagai seniman di panggung opera,   berlagak bak jenderal gadungan di medan perang,  yang sengaja terluka, bersimbah darah dan kehilangan nyawa, demi nama baik belaka.  Tunduk pada hawa nafsu dan ambisi yang menggebu. Semua perbuatannya terasa direkayasa,   seakan haus akan sanjungan dan pujian, eulogi massa ia tuhankan, kawan pun ia jatuhkan, perasaan juga dinomor-duakan, seolah dibutakan oleh logika dan pikiran. Panggung sandiwara memang sangat menggoda,  tapi apakah perlu kita berpura-pura, hanya  untuk kepuasan yang sementara? Hamburg, 2019
