Poem
Frank Koenegracht
PROGRESS
All the cars in the rainwhizzing past my window,
headlights on,
passing along the bend in the road,
I hope they are on their way somewhere
and are all different cars
and not a series
being sent round and round
over and over again for no reason
by the same invisible madman.

VOORUITGANG
VOORUITGANG
Van alle auto’s in de regendie suizen langs mijn raam,
koplampen aan,
en die passeren door de bocht van de weg,
hoop ik maar dat ze ergens heengaan
en dat het telkens andere auto’s zijn
en niet een reeks
die zonder reden telkens opnieuw
wordt rondgezonden
door steeds dezelfde onzichtbare gek.
