on the earth there are none.
There are only dangles,
and you are one of them.

between cabbage and beet.

10 those are your childhood,
20 are you saving,
30 you must be married,
40 are you too old then,
50 are you going to fall,
60 you get inconveniences,
70 your life descends,
80 you lie in the grave,
90 is a very long life,
100 is given by god.
Plus reader Yvonne Buunk-Werkhoven wrote this verse in her friend Margo’s album. About the verse she says: ‘Looking back, it may have been a form of projection’.
