Making space / Farsi largo — Janet Mullarney — 1996 — Groningen — Waagplein

Nederlands: hier / Français: ici

little do we know
or don’t want to
of what we
hardly
are aware

why aren’t we?
for it does surround us

—

what was it that
made him soar
which daring
which questioning
free fall
or pushed over the edge

—

underneath, life goes on
inconsiderate
people don’t look up

too overwhelmingly wide
therefore not supported

—

but what if
it crashes
upon us

what if
he crashes
on the ground

—

why do we not perceive
what
we should wonder about
we should ponder about

the other
ourselves

—

wanna see something
maybe not
wanna go somewhere
maybe not
don’t wanna act
or am I
going to
do
something
