The sky today
is bluer than usual;
I wonder if that means anything
                                   (a mental note to look it up kater)
The plane
passing overhead
looks so clear
                    -details crisp, easily interpreted
              how low is it flying?
I feel quite certain
that if I were to reach up,
it would fly circles between my open fingers,
a curious bumble-bee looking for his cargo.

I am sure
I could pluck it
right out of the sky;
a life-like model
in a giant's hand.

Werken voor later, brood,
vis en water, groots
genot en kater,
ze volgen elkaar steeds op.
Was het niet socialiter onaanvaard
dan was mijn job idealiter
aan de open haard.
Hout verzorgen, vuur voor morgen,
warmte, veiligheid en comfort,
een warm brood met vis en water
zonder zorgen op je bord.

Dat is lui, dat mag niet, niks doen is verboden,
je bent een profiteur of krijgt niets van onze broden.

Zal ik ze zoeter bakken of sla- om de tijd
te laten vliegen? Dan voel ik me slecht,
maar net niet slecht genoeg om mijn best te doen voor echt.

Het ideale werk is al allemaal gedaan
en leven in het verleden maakte niemand ooit tevreden.
Leven in de toekomst daarentegen is als leven op de maan.
Je moet nu al vanalles doen om er zelfs nog maar te staan.

Wat is dan momenteel
het ideale beeld waar ik je over kweel?
Ik weet het niet, het komt neren op proberen.
Je zal wel merken wat het is wanneer je 't voor je ziet,
denk ik, geloof ik, hoop ik.
Wat voor werk wil ik doen?
is een vraag voor later
want ik heb nu al andere dingen aan mijn hoofd.

. the cure's album
*******...
is the sort of fun,
that's best associated
with the band
foster the people,
when it isn't...
   and it isn't...
                 a conscript
of mainstream;
because...
petting cats,
leaves you,
the pristine outlier...
of wishing
for reiterating
    being "known"...
bon jovi LP,
the back to the future
soundtrack,
nine inch nails...
  the cure,
depeche mode...
         foster the people:
joy division,
ola gjeilo...
       dream get-away
2 weeks...
**** the norwegian
fjords...
   me, 2 weeks
on that faroe islands...
  2 weeks kater...
i disappear for 2 decades,
and 2 lifetimes...
when youtube became
english soap-opera...
  eastenders...
coronation st. style *******...
just when french existentialism
became exported
to the scandinavians...
   right now?
i'm feeding off the export
of german existentialism
being fed onto
           the anglo canvas...
there's no such "thing"
as a curious cat...
there's only a bored cat,
or a cat imitating a dog
in terms of itself remidning
itself, of being a pet-animal;
a petted-animal is
unlike an animal akin
to feeding you abortions
akin to chickens...
   what is the standard
deviance of a petted animal?
there's no impetus
for ***...
                 i "own"
two castrated specimen
of the bonsai tiger...
cats...
                i act as if i don't own
them,
but i also act akin
to: there's nothing i can do
about you, so...
do what you "feel" is necessary...
squint eye per quint eye...
at least the remains
include:
   everyone anticipated
"feeling"
   possessive,
and subsequently in charge.
