Poem
K. Schippers
BLACK
Of these letters, whichyou are now reading,
see, just for a moment,
the black only, as if
all meaning has slipped away.
Props and curves,
that’s all.
Look at them
like a five-year-old
who has never
read a word.

ZWART
Zie van deze letters,die u hier leest,
heel even alleen maar
het zwart of elke
betekenis is weggeglipt.
Staketsels en rondingen,
meer niet.
Bekijk ze
als een vijfjarig kind
dat nog nooit
iets heeft gelezen.
