iii. errand

“magkano yang barya sa kamay mo? putangina, hulaan mo,
wag mo bilangin!”

- neobrod to neotau

breathe deep and crystallize the reason
why you choose to be right here and now
before i tell you what you must do.
before i call you brother.

with that done, the errand is this:
chase the horizon before you
and obtain for me either of these:
1. a cup from the fountain of youth,
2. a fistful of gold from el dorado,
3. the treasure at the end of the rainbow,
4. the clock that stops time,
5. the secret to happiness,
6. the whereabouts of the perfect life, or
7. the proof that god exists.

otherwise, lick the dirt off the sole of my shoe, wipe
the floor with your face, kneel, sit, heel, go fetch,
catch, lie still, roll over, play dead, massage my
body, be a footstool, close the door, open the door,
set the table, wash the dishes, laugh, cry, drop to
the ground and give me one hundred and thirty.
