KEPADA M.K.I

Tuan itu

tukar pakaian seragam

di sudut kampus

wajah ceria

langkah pecah kesunyian

duduk

terlambat

pikirannya menerawang

sudah tibakah isteriku dari arisan?

sudah belajarkah anak-anakku?

Tuan itu terenyuh

di bangku belakang

dosen menerangkan

serius

pasti

TO M.K.I

The gentleman

look of the uniform

It one corner of the campus

Bright face

stepping through silence

to take a seat

Being late

He is thinking over elsewhere

Has my wife returned from ladies? Group rendezvous ?

Have my kids studied to day?

The gentleman is feeling sorrow

at the backrow

The lecturer is lecturing

seriously

For sure
