Gesamtkunstwerk

go to redang. go hunting for fabled rocks and baby sharks. swim in choppy seas. take on the evening tide. snorkel, for what it's worth. jump around. get cut. take chances. take photos. screw sunblock. the sunburn aches and peels. u're roasted lobster then rotted mushroom, red and black and residual tissue. 2 weeks later they're just a memory. show your cuts to friends. laugh about being young. scars don't last. laughter does.

go see the selangor dam. see how small u are. forget work. forget the 13 unwritten pages. go to sg chiling. step in mud. climb the ledge at the waterfall. don't miss the chance, like i did. fight the rapids, like i didn't. get wet. grapple with soapy-smooth stones. u're There - if not now, when? what's dry clothes to unadulterated fun? what's wet underwear to submerging in liquid ice? life is short. play hard. the cold dissipates. the photos won't.

doze with a sweet girl. hold her close. tell stories. write secrets. smell shampoo. whisper names. breathe her breath. bite her lips. kiss and linger long and deep. kiss like there's no tomorrow. tomorrow comes anyway.

the cycle inevitably restarts. and i'm back to working hard. like a dog. a robot dog. 1/2 day mc doesn't count for fucks. i end up staying later than everyone else. hunger since missed lunch. sustenance by 3 cuppa milo's through the day. what a perversion of my milo memories.
