I love Amsterdam at night
rows of narrow houses on the canal
lit windows, slow time
jewellery of my loneliness
predictable daytime traffic
manoeuvering through logos and slogans
grumpy faces, professional smile
turning diagonally on steep sections
zigzag track from right to left
watch out, it causes accidents
attention, left is going, right is standing
flashing lights in the middle every now and then
like nothing is wrong
grab like crows in the poo
between garbage and inventory
ephemeral, a group on the sidewalk
familiar strange ordinary
fellow citizens where we live
quite easily next to each other
our contacts interchangeable
Amsterdam at night
narrow houses on the canal
lit windows, slow time
jewellery of my loneliness
