i got your missed call
i was then too busy and
almost forgot about it
until this morning when
i am overridden with guilt
i call you back asking why
you called and you tell me that
she is finally breaking up with
you and selling the house and
lot where both of you had been
living for 25 years
she will get everything as you
had never been gainfully employed
and you say that you will leave
even before the sale
and shall settle in the farms somewhere
in Davao to live alone there
and i say that is just perfect
with an inspiration that you
will have then a very good chance
of beginning anew
find a new one who loves you without cost
and finally forget her as she
does not deserve you
and i end the conversation with don't worry
there is always a place for everyone under the sun
that there will always be new beginnings
and that no one is poor or rich forever
