SA PAMPANG SALOG

Ang bulos kaining Salog-Kabilogan
Namamati ko sa sakong rapandapan;
Bulos nin biyaya, bulos kamundu&#;an;
Buhay, kagadanan kan samong kina&#;ban.
Maghaling Talongog salog na hararom
Mabulos sa Büsak pasiring Alomon;
Mababang Kinale, dagos sa Karisak,
Maiba sa Agus, sa Bato an bagsak.
Minaikül-ikül sa mga kadlagan,
Sa mga patubig kan mga kaba&#;san
Sa Gumabaw, Sabang, Tüpas abot Mangga,
Pagtaas kan tubig sagkod Marayag pa.
Igwang nagbubulos pababa sa Pantaw,
Igwang pasiring sa dagat kan Basikaw.
Nadadangog ko sa Salog-Kabilogan
Istorya kan mga dagang binulusan.
Sa binurakbusak igwang mga tigsik,
Igwang rawitdawit sa bulos kan tubig.
Nadadangog ko su mga inagrangay
Kan daing palad na tikapo sa buhay;
Su kaugmahan man kan biniyayaan,
Pati paglaum kan mga natugaan.
Su kapagalan kan pagtanom sa Kalpi
Sagkod Kalagimit sakong namamati.
Su lipot kan para-sira sa Badian
Nagpangubugkubog sa kulit, sa laman.
Sa salog dangog ko su mga salaysay
Kan para-banwit sa Tübgün, sa Talisay;
Para-gibong basket
Para sa aking sulat, napili ko ang kwentong &#;Superman ang Misis Ko&#; ni Abdon M. Balde Jr. Sa pamagat pa lamang ay naiisip ko na ang mangingibabaw na uri ng pagsusuri ng akda. Para sa akin, magandang gamitin ang Femenismo sa pagsusuri nito.
Sa simula ng kuwento, makikita sa diskripsyon ng lalaki ang mga katangiang panlalaki ng kanyang minamahal na babae. Magaspang daw ang mga daliri at pinaglaba't pinagsisibak ng panggatong ng magulang. Dahil dito, napagkamalan pa siyang tibo ng kangyang lalaki. At ang simpleng aksyon ng kunwaring pagsasapak sa dibdib ay hindi masasabing karaniwang gawain ng isang babae. Ngunit lumabas din kahit papano ang kanyang katangian pambabae ng sinabing siya'y napakaganda at napakabait. Dito ako naniwala na babae ang pinaguusapan.
Ngunit, marami pang katangian panlalaki ang ginagawa ng babae sa kwento. Siya ang umuutos at nagdadala ng pagkain sa mesa. Siya pa ang nag-aalalay sa kanyang lalaki habang tumatawid ng kalsada. Tapos nung ikasal sila, yung babae pa yung nag-karga paakyat ng kanilang apartment sa pangatlong palapag. Imba! Hindi lang yun! Sa kanya pa daw napupunta ang mabibigat na gawain. Yung babae ang nagkakabit ng antenna ng TV, nagkuk
