I don’t know what it is I am feeling now
it feels as though my chest is hollow
sinking deeper into the eath
waves of regrets awash me
inevitability and inescapability weighs on me

horn blows, the final call of the day.
I hesitate a little, wondering if I should leave.
it appears there’s nothing holding me here

then I glimpse at the child, one I used to know
there was something, like a saying or promise
but I can’t seem to remember.

I wonder what it is. I wonder if it still matters.
a little longer, if I am free to do so.
just a bit longer, if I may.

no more bitter sweetness
no more I-have-lived-it-all bullshit
yes to leap of faith
yes to deep dive into the unknown
and yes to willing to try
when I wake up tomorrow morning
I want to experience it
I want to live it
I want to get closer to my dream.

오늘 하루
내 꿈을 향해 다가가는 하루
내가 원하는 하루.

just one more game,
I feel alive, unlike ever before
heck, even that Hemingway’s
been on his race horses

so let me have this rush, come on!
I deserve this, I survived today
let me have my game already!
let me live the life!

yet you realize
there’s a mountain load of work.
yup, go back to your cave
and start digging away your work

there is something sticky in my feet
it drags along the sidestreet
it’s not the smudges of dog feces
it’s not the dried skin leather of mice

it’s like a second layer of skin on my face
like a large red paint on my countenance
that I cannot see for myself
like a fermented smell that permeates

but did you know,
like a sticky gum in your hair,
there’s a trick to rid of its gloominess
either cut the hair for a new look
or get the ice and freeze it for awhile

bright sunny day isn’t too far away
just look up,
it’s right there.
