a girl, Robocop, and a very long conversation.

I just had a dream, a good dream.
There's a girl involved.
A girl, as she's seems younger than me.

I was at a movie screening,
A sci-fi action movie, including future space rangers that is overpowered by an enemy.
I chuckled when suddenly Robocop (yes! Robocop!) appeared as part of the story.

Then it began,
after the show, she came and asked, "Why did you laugh?" 
I was so dazed by her fresh face and her long smooth hair,
and of course on her interest, her question. 

Then I answered telling how Robocop is part of my childhood and all.
But apparently, she doesn't know about it at all, it's not from her era.
So yes, she's younger than me.

Then we talked for a while, about anything, about everything.
A conversation that I haven't had for a long time.
A very long and warm conversation that I need.

We're connected. At least that's what I felt that time.

And before we got the chance to exchange names, I woke up.

I woke up.

with a smiling face,

and an empty heart.

Copenhagen, 5-ish in the morning.

sedikit Adrenaline Rush di pagi hari

Pagi ini aku terpelest dan terjatuh di kamar mandi.
masih teringat jelas sepintas waktu di antaranya,

kaki kiri ku terpeleset, hilanglah keseimbangan,
terjatuh ke depan, coba mencari pegangan,
gagal.

dan waktu pun seakan makin melambat,
terproyeksi jalur benturan antara kepalaku dengan wastafel.
sial.

masih berusaha untuk mengelak,
sedikit tenaga merubah jalur benturan.
paha kanan membentur kerasnya batu toilet.
aku pun terjatuh menghantam lantai

ahhhh..

untung cuma sedikit memar dan keseleo..
bisa saja lebih parah...

bisa saja lebih parah.


------
An adrenaline rush is a sudden increase in the secretion of adrenaline from the adrenal glands. This happens when the brain communicates to the glands that there will be a need for a fight-or-flight response. The cause of an adrenaline rush need not be an actual physical threat but can also be an imagined threat, strenuous exercise, heart failure, chronic stress, anxiety or a disorder of the brain or adrenal glands.
