Poem
Marije Langelaar
hold on to your shell
Do not let yourself be robbed, hold on to your shellhold on to your glasses, do not let go of your buttocks and hold on to
the hand of time one two three cramp now
Do not let yourself be stripped hold on to all your prayers, capital cities
rules, put your heart in a clamp yes like that
bind up your brains,
prod a little with your stick
one two three cramp now
this jacket fits me

HOUD JE SCHIL VAST
HOUD JE SCHIL VAST
Laat je niet lichten, houd je schil vasthoud je bril vast, laat je billen niet los en houd de hand
van de tijd vast en één twee drie kramp nu
Laat je niet ontkleden houd al je gebeden, hoofdsteden
regels vast, zet je hart in een klem ja zo
bind je hersens vast,
prik wat met je stok
één twee drie kramp nu
ik pas deze jas
