the demons that possess the value chains must be exorcised
by us sorcerers and dreamers and pretenders
who conjured magic spells in colored post-its and sheets of paper
we who conversed in skyped voices and emailed letters
charlatans unmasked during a fancy Thai dinner
in Makkasan where the conspirators gathered
subdued murmurs compete with hushed whispers
conspiracies disguised as dinners and consultations
until finally the bell chimed for a dose of the elixir
a tavern piercing the sky where happiness spew out of fountains
to toast, to celebrate, and to forget Makkasan
but I am just a conspiracy of one among many
severely infatuated with Manila's old streets
shooting churches [and bicycles], eating noodles [and lechon kawali]
