Tulips gobble water
This is rude
compared to other flowers.
But we’ll not dismiss
so striking a guest.
Wine, olive oil, salt and pepper
Not the last, but the four
middle things,
accompaniment to our daily bread
Albert Heijn
It’s hard to be a dad
It’s hard to be a dad.
It’s hard to do the right thing.
It’s hard to know what the right thing is.
Sometimes you think you know.
But then you see you got it wrong.
Lookout
Shall we get a new house?
Throw away all the crap of the past
and live like pure people of the present?
Patience to see the man
Slash means line break
This is not so violent as it sounds,
just as the little smiles
above unaccented syllables
are only suggestions of the pleasure
one gets from poetry.
