Poem
Marc Kregting
COME ON, COME OVER
Extrajudicial appropriation of livestockrarely accounts for itself. But what else
would you detain, without recompense
(grandma’s burlap). Today you feel like
skittish kid. Chance has it one showed
up. Full of axle grease though, because it
had borne mothers. Grab a sturdy shovel –
you have to set off placenta. Afterwards,
wash your hands, but not with palaver.

COME ON, COME OVER
COME ON, COME OVER
Wederrechtelijke toe-eigening der veestapelspreekt zich zelden goed. Wat echter houd
je anders na, zonder traktement (gonje van
de opoe). Vandaag heb je zin in een dartel
klein geitje. Het toeval wilde dat er daar
één kwam. Wel was het vol wagensmeer, want
het had moeders gebaard. Pak er een forse
schep bij – zwarte koek moet je afsteken.
Erna was je de handen, maar niet rumoerig.
