ASTONISHD FISH
VERBAAZDE VISSEN
de oogwal bevorderlijk voorikoniciteit n
ambivalentie au bibliothèque
hoe iegelijk booreiland
t hart & t lf & de spleen versplintrt
van fanny-freddy infamie
de vissen beginnen raar te praten
iets wat nooit eerder zal gebeuren
alexander de grote
mijn tijdgenoot
die de nek omsluit
au quelque kruispunt
wat de schoot van de libertijn
n het gat van de ganymedes
uitbraakt
mariesther vraagt waarom hebben de vissen geen verveling gekregen
schadevergoeding en niet
ongevaarlijk worden gehouden
dus wat gedokke is de minne dan,
mijn valreeps protocol?

ASTONISHD FISH
the eyewall favorable forikonicity an
ambivalence au bibliothèque
how eche rig shattrs
the hrt & the gut & the spleen
of fanny-freddy infamy
the fish begin to speak queerly
something that never will happen before
alexander the great
my contemporary
girding the neck
au quelque crossroads
wot disgorges
the libertine’s lap
n the ganymede’s hole
mariesther asks why were the fish not given any tediousness
indemnification and not being held
harmless
then what the heck ys love
my brinkly protocol?
