အၿပံဳး ျပႆနာ


လမ္းေပၚမွာ
ေကာင္မေလးေတြနဲ႔
ေတြ႔လိုက္တယ္
ၿပံဳးျပလိုက္ေတာ႔
*သြား* ေတြအေအးပတ္
ကုန္မယ္ေနာ္တဲ႔။

ေက်ာင္းေရာက္ေတာ႔
ဆရာမကို ၿပံဳးျပလိုက္တယ္
မင္း အိမ္စာေတြေသခ်ာ
လုပ္လာရဲ႕လားတဲ႔။

အဲဒီေနာက္ အဲဒီေနာက္မွာ
ေက်ာင္းေရွ႕၀ရန္တာမွာ
ေအးေအးေဆးေဆး
ငါထိုင္လိုက္တယ္
ေရွ႕နားက
ျဖတ္ေလွ်ာက္သြားတဲ႔
ေကာင္မေလးေတြက
မာန ႀကီးလိုက္တာတဲ႔။

အခန္းထဲေရာက္ေတာ႔
ၿငိမ္ၿငိမ္ေလး ျပန္ထိုင္လိုက္တယ္
ဆရာမက မင္းဒီေန႔ဘာျဖစ္တာလဲ
ငါ႔ကိုမ်ား တစ္ခုခုမေက်နပ္လို႔လားတဲ႔
ျပႆနာ လာရွာေသးတယ္။

ငါ...ငါ တစ္ခုခုေတာ႔
လြဲေနၿပီနဲ႔တူတယ္။

ေၾသာ္...လူေတြ လူေတြ
ခက္ေတာ႔တာပါပဲ။ ။
