Happy ever birthday

A day to rejoice

Cause
This used to be the day
You 'celebrated' your birth
Actually
You always fled abroad
And took me with you
Cairo, Skyros, Morocco, Italy, Istanbul
Unimportant now
Memories
Well I hate memories
But today I have to look back

Cause
This used to be your birthday
And I am alone
In your house
Which is as dead
As you are
No escape
Just the wind
Letting me know
Everyone is relative
Even you

Cause
On your birthday
I think about your death
A situation which will apply to you
Longer than life
Your being alive-status was just an interruption of your death
And in that ultimate time span
You where once born
That was the first day of you breathing being
A monumental happening

Cause
It is your ever birthday
Which is the pre-conditioning
Of my death-interval
What can I say, think?

Thanks

And
Happy ever birthday

Aesthetic death of my town

One hour before curfew It is the year 2021 A late January evening I am supboarding on the flat waters Of the medieval canals And see my city  In all its beauty  Enough people walk by But never more than two persons  And I am floating In these bridge galaxies (hard to explain 😆 )  While I am doing this  Noises are dimmed  Curfew time is approaching  All the lights in the houses are lit Everyone is home To the satisfactory of my curiosity And I sense something different And it is beautiful  And sad For When I am paddling back To my home I experience  That my town Is dying In  All Its Beauty

Hold on (nothing's the same)

I had to enter the supermarket, alone And was happy No more scores of people, pushing  Quietness, … at the cash desks Then After a short while It felt kind of spooky Me, in this surrealistic surrounding Sligro Tuesday afternoon March 24 2020 I have this love hate relation with people 1.5 meters distance to another human being No problem, what a relief Sooner than I could imagine I started to miss these folks by the minute Also I had to concentrate on the shopping “Cheese, eggs, fresh vegetables…” “Hey, they play some really good songs” I danced a bit “I will pass you via this side” And the supermarket employer involved in this scene said  “Thanks” “Thank you”, I replied My thoughts on humankind Which dropped  Dramatically the last weeks Changed a bit, positively upwards In a relax mood I continued “Oh yes, almonds, raisins, taco chips…” “Wow, is it true?” “Do I hear the opening chords of this song?” Yes, y

Lockdown horroshow

Eind april, 2020, Nederland In tegenstelling tot huidhonger dat velen ervaren Verlang ik naar de zogenaamde stilte Id est De relatieve rust van Leiden Van voor de coronatijd Tijdens deze, voor sommige mensen, crisis Is het mogelijk In Nederland  Om te genieten van coronarust Deze rustvorm bestaat echt Immers Het wordt door veel media en hun gebruikers getoond Aan de hand van foto’s en filmpjes Dus het is Waar en hoe dan? Het is hier in Leiden  Aan het water Heel druk Zo ook op de straten Op de grachten en singels vaart een bonte stoet bootjes  Protserige sloepen met daarin middenstanders Speedbootjes met een lading testosteron aan boord Achenebbisje studentenpieremachochels van het Leidse corps  En de ondefinieerbare lagen daartussen  In eendrachtige eenheid  Gebroederlijk veelal te hard varend Maken zij hun ‘Rondjes Leiden’  Spookachtige rondjes  Een doelloze onafgebroken onveranderlijke cyclus  The Horror...
