We both don't like mosquitoes. day... you... what else... / Shall we go now? Wait, wait... i'm still not sure. Mik... listen to me. Poetry reading is... 110% according to how you bring it onstage. That's it, what if i get groggy on stage? Take a tranquilizer or something. Did you forget the last time i took some medicine? And then it turns out to be a wrong medicine? Mik! Mik! Mik! Mik, Mik! Mik.. Do you know the order of performance tonight? It will be determined there I will perform after you, okay? I always think that my talent lies in poetry. When in middle school, i read my own poem. in front of a crowd I remember that day clearly, everyone applauded! Coincidentally, that's also my birthday! What about you? What song do you like? Hmm... I... Like songs with romantic lyrics. Because i like poetry and rhyme, Mas Anca! Good then phone beeps See, Sylvia asked about us already, we've got to get going! Mas Anca!

At what time did you arrive? "at what time"? "when"? Oh, just now, it was traffic. The road, filled with mankind. Mankind, who's always in a rush... to entertaining places. Looking for happiness in this physical world... Before they... die. Yeah, maybe Yeah... This is Rian. / Hello Rian? A name from the Gallic language. that means... Great. Strong. Big.

Sylvia! applauses yesterday, i wanted to die! Under the neons of the city because of you all! With your cellphones, internet, laptop, you made me shiver by myself! Arggghhhh! applauses I think... this poem... is spot-on... in translating human confusion against post-modernism! Which is hidden on the loss of human connections, one with the other. Because of technology! A very amazing poem! long applauses Now, i... am carried away in the symphony of my awe to you... / It's cool! But what does that mean? I dunno. Try this one. Gasoline, 200 thousands! cat food 250 thousands! the remaining... of Miko's debt... twenty... five... thousands. isn't it an expense list? Mik, quick! 2 more person, and then you!

You are like the sun who shines through the day... except when it's cloudy because there are a lot of clouds. there you go! What the hell was that? I have never listened to A shallow poem like that! Here. That poem just now Like a kid with alcohol then was told to get drunk then given paper with a pen or a pencil or something then asked to make a poem Huh... That poem ergh! Is an insult to my ear! You are such a censored censored Thank you! Because i'm so nervous, i heard nothing on stage! Next is... Rian! Yea? Me? Yes, Yan! Isn't your poem book left at home? Yea i know! This is what differs you and me! You are stuck with the paper! I... know how to improvise Why? It's been a while since i speak in public! I think all of you have been on stage! Or does anyone want to? Ah! You in the back! Yeah, the poor looking one! Come here, mas! I... don't know why i'm here. it's better that i... not be here. Maybe it's better if i get off and leave the stage huge applause this poem is... about human existence! That i've never heard before! Humans don't know why we're here. It's better... to leave the stage of life. an amazing simile! Sylvia? / Reminding us.... that... It's so good! humans... are small... and obsolete! This! is the best poem for the night! long applauses
