staircase, block 104
By Tharman Shanmugaratnam (1978)
variation of yesterday’s game. accusing shrieks challenging laughter and yesterday is no pakai. and happiness is sometimes bought. scrambling up children’s lives, they too shall learn the ways – smother their responses, cultivate the measure of nonchalance: they too shall squeeze into lives and live with it. and happiness is often sold.
screaming past the lightning, then smiling through a missing tooth in the dark turn of the staircase
