SCENE
on the Ferris wheel a jilted lover weeps.on the merry-go-round a blond girl giggles.
“action!”
a bullet supposedly slams into the crybaby.
he bites down on a capsule of blood
to create a dramatic effect.
“action!”
he slurs his rehearsed words.
she doesn’t understand him.
the red goo oozes out of his mouth too luridly.
the scene has to be done all over again.

Sêne
Sêne
yn it reuzerêd gûlt in brutsen frijer.yn ’e sweefmole gibelet in blondine.
“aksje!”
in kûgel rekket de gûlbek sabeare.
hy moat in bloedkapsule trochbite
foar it dramatyske effekt.
“aksje!”
hy lipket syn ynleine wurdsjes.
sy ferstiet him net.
it reade spul komt te bluisterich út ’e mûle.
de sêne moat noch in kear oer.
