အလ်ားလိုက္ျဖတ္သန္းျခင္း (ေဒါက္တာစိုးသန္း)

အလ်ားလိုက္ျဖတ္သန္းျခင္း

ဒီလို...
မိတၱဴစက္က ထြက္က်လာသလိုေန႔မ်ိဳး
ဒီလို...
ေရွ႕တိုးမရ ေနာက္ဆုတ္မရ
ဒီလို...
ေသာက္ေနက်လက္ဖက္ရည္က
အရသာပ်က္တဲ့ေန႔မ်ိဳး 
ဒီလို...
မ်က္ေထာင့္နီနီနဲ႔ အၾကည့္ခံရ
ဒီလို...
ေႁမြျဖစ္လ်က္ တြင္းဝင္မေျဖာင့္
ဒီလို...
ခ်ီေခြဗားရားလိုလို နတ္သွ်င္ေနာင္လိုလို
ၿပီးေတာ့...
ဒီလိုပါပဲေလ လို႔
ခင္ဗ်ားတို႔နဲ႔အတူတူ
ေျပရာေျပေၾကာင္း ေတြးမိတဲ့ေန႔မ်ိဳးေပါ့။ 

သစၥာနီ

Swimming against the currents

Just like that...
like a day that has come out of a Xerox machine.
Just like that...
when one can neither advance nor retreat.
Just like that...
a day when your regular cuppa
tastes weird.
Just like that...
when you've been angrily glared at.
Just like that...
when even a snake couldn't slither into its hole.
Just like that...
when one could pass for Che Guevara or Natshin Naung.
After all.....
All is like this and that....
altogether with you,
on such a day when we try not to take things to heart.
