"geert" poems
In friendship dedicated to Geert Verbeke
Oh yes,
I was born
the wrong side
of the track
I never lied about it
was proud of it
wouldn't think of hiding
hat I was born
the other side
of the track
I confessed,
undeniably,
convincingly,
uncontroversially,
irretrievably
that I was born
the wrong side
of the track
but the more I insisted,
the more I persisted,
the more I conceded,
the more they said
that I was lying
for, they said,
nobody the wrong side
of the track
can lie that sincerely,
nobody who's able
to play the part
that well
to tell tales
so veraciously
so reliably
can be born
the wrong side
of the track
so now I lie
about not being born
the wrong side
of the track
and lo and behold
now they believe me
for, they say,
nobody born
the wrong side of the track
can lie that well
she is the queen
of the festival
that girl that claimed
to be born
the wrong side
of the track
