I have nothing evil
in mind, just look
I smile at you

Not that broadly, no
There, keep looking
Out of curiosity

about what I have to offer you
with my onset
of a smile, of connecting

yes, from afar, but
on the screen close by
wherever you are

And you're smiling back
for years now, you've edited
the old photos like that

Those who write don't stay..

long. All their sentences drown --


in the sea of words.


Wie schrijft blijft.. niet lang.Wer schreibt, bleibt.. sehr kurz.
Alle zinnen verdrinken --Alle Sätze ertrinken --

in de woordenzee.im Meer der Worte.

Zywa Wean Di

My friends live as neighbours
a second away from me
I can see if they are home

in the Wean Di
that encrusting tissue
of shifting hope

that drama of our lives
as a game of skill:
I am me and I

is us, a world full
of bridges between kindred spirits
But the roads are falling apart

Crossing physical borders
we travel safely around
in our filter of friendship

each with our noses wherever
the wind blows and with our chosen quiffs
and feathers on the wings of We and I

On the internet,

I can see the Whole Wide World --


with only two eyes.


Op het internetSchön, im Internet
zie ik de hele wereld --sehe ich die ganze Welt --

met maar twee ogen.mit nur zwei Augen.
