Passing by Katipunan Avenue Late One Afternoon

Blue and white of a catholic school girl uniform
Blurring the edges of my sight
Policeman in knee high boots and cap
Guiding the traffic without a light

The tricycle driver nearly bumped my bumper
Then sped away in a fright
Two high school boys eyeing a pretty girl
Settling the score with a fight

The red of the jeepneys hurt my eye
As birds on trees take to flight
Poor woman on a scooter falling down
Hiding her face, with embarrassment now glowing bright
