Episode Synopsis

itu ramalan
pendirian yang tidak berpijak
pada lahan kenyataan
itu andaian
kesombongan yang tidak jenuh
menguji kebenaran
jam lima
hujan lagi
itu cuba uji
untuk menandingi hakiki
siapa yang sengaja
menconteng grafiti takdir
di dinding bumi
beriman hati
ada hamun maki
bernada puisi
yang tidak ada
di dalam kamus rasmi
ceriteralah
jika ada yang berani
melawan gelombang bongkak
berkaryalah
dengan novel yang enggan
ditelanjangi ketakutan
bersajaklah
dengan cerpen
tanpa pakaian
terhadap perkataan
dan kawalan mauduk kandungan
berpantunlah
dalam rangkap-rangkap
mengharap adab
tanpa susunan
rima kebiasaan
yang sudah lapuk berzaman


that’s a prediction
a stance without footing
on the land of reality
that’s an assumption
arrogance that doesn't stop
protesting actuality
at five
it rains again
trying to challenge
trying to compete with certainty
whoever deliberately
scribbles the graffiti of fate
on the walls of the earth
his heart filled with faith
there exists obscenity
with poetic harmony
that doesn’t exist
in the dictionary
tell the story
if anyone’s brave
to fight the waves of vanity
write the story
a novel which refuses
to be denuded by timidity
write the poetry
a short prose
naked
from suppression of words
and forbiddance of meaning
write the poem
the stanzas
proposing affability
without the usual structure
without the same rhyme
the archaic rhyme swallowed by time
