Poem
C.B. Vaandrager
CYCLE IN PAST TENSE
I came out with the craziest remarks.I stumbled over my words.
I said just anything.
I didn’t know what to say.
I said nothing.
I agreed with the speaker before me.
I made a fuss.
I wasn’t businesslike.
I didn’t have any money.
I had clammy hands.
I was ashamed of myself.
I didn’t have any patience.
I was naïve with females
I couldn’t dance.
I was stuck up.
I wanted to be somebody.
CYCLUS IN DE VERLEDEN TIJD
CYCLUS IN DE VERLEDEN TIJD
Ik kwam gek uit de hoek.Ik struikelde over mijn woorden.
Ik zei maar wat.
Ik wist niet wat ik moest zeggen.
Ik zei niks.
Ik sloot me aan bij de vorige spreker.
Ik had kapsies.
Ik was onzakelijk.
Ik had geen geld.
Ik had klamme handen.
Ik schaamde me.
Ik had geen geduld.
Ik was naïef met wijven.
Ik kon niet dansen.
Ik was stug.
Ik wou opvallen.
