pride

pride_IMG_3300-2

to show
compromising moments,
actually,
obviously private moments

yes,
display it to the shoppers,
to the casual passer-by,
to children by the hand of their parents,
frot it in their eyes

pride
of what?

 

 

yesteryear

Brand Stationsstraat_IMG_3298-2

the age of old-fashioned views
we don’t appreciate anymore

we go vegan,
ban alcohol altogether,
live me too
and inclusive,
embrace the rainbow flag,
apologize about slavery,
are switching to electric driving en masse,
buy online,
even our daily groceries,
texting on the terrace,
in the store, on the street, on the platform, in the train,
at the party,
….while eating,
in bed,
……

made a walk,
through the Burgundian center of Maastricht,
had to wait for my car to be ready,
by the way a petrol powered Z3 (year of construction 1997),
…I have to say this: what a sensational experience while driving in that car…,

……

on a Monday,
and what a lot of people in the city,
I couldn’t avoid them, I naturally started talking,
yes, actually with everyone,
…….at least who wanted to talk
as me
too

it’s my
yesteryear
world

a historic site,
with monks who were extremely combative,
preached,
led crusades and
conducted inquisitions against dissenters

that moving history
won’t stop me from
enjoying their delicious beer

today!
