im a free man


i live by no rules


i get carried away by the wind


and end up wherever it takes me to.


dont even try to bog me down.








i feel better already.


slightly.


but something at the back


of my head


is telling me


to go get it.


coz "if you want it,


then go get it."


that's what i used to tell people.


now


i dont even dare think of it.

i wonder


ten years down the road


will we still remember what we did in school


the childish pranks


the skipping of lectures


the scolding of cadets


the people who pass you by everyday


and the people who sat beside you everyday trying to copy your homework.


will we remember our class


our ccas


our teachers


the OCIP SHANGHAI PEOPLE


the leaky urinals


the creaky classbenches?


would we even bother to pause and think for awhile


what have those people who touched our lives become of?


the past is not so dead after all


if we bother to stop and look.


oh well


on the sidelines,


i wanna be an ice cream man next time


waha
