The silence. © Petra de Winter and Wim Oudijk
I seek the silence
I wander in the dark
I wait and I wait
but nothing appears
Having the right age
to know what's going on
counting my blessings
can't see any sparkle
I can smell uglyness
my brain is too bright for you
I wade through the mud of your
cheap empty lives
you call me weak but your faces are scorched
so no-one can blame me for losing myself
I leave the uproar
this slippery slope
your glances are flat
you can't hear my voice
Having the right age
midthirties, male
I meet the statistics
which means I am normal
I couldn't find it, I lost the connection
I wouldn't be part of the uniformity
so I'll let you march
all around your market
because you're not gifted and
you won't be damned
Take the drinks I bought for you
don't seek words that you won't find
and the groceries in the hall
you may eat them if you like
