Nagbepaling

Wie waak oor ons gans die wakkernag? Vind sondes.lank vergete n aanklag eggo in die gewete Dalk net stank demone Wat slaaploos toi-toi in talle drome Watter wekker skrik sy meester kaal Wyl hy rondtol.in n lakenhel? Skape, pennies en sy woorde tel Of plak gebede saam met drome vas Teen blank plafonne en die linnekas? En ook skimme wat eens mense was n vingerskrif op die klagstaat straf Ander sluimer niksbeduidend Wereld werk nog steeds misleidend Introspeksie hou het geen verband Onwelkom het net ingekom Soos infeksie in n agtertand Prokureur teem onbeholpe 'k kort n advokaat n leuenverklikker wat moet wèèt waarvan hy praat Opgetof en opgetoga en n omkoopmagistraat Sinies en insomnies naghof ronddool in n doodloopstraat Wie sake uitgooi maar dan skelm uitstel Weereens more ons beroof van geld en slaap

hmmm Lawrence of Arabia? I'm thinking more Gertrude Bell, she sort of grabbed them by their balls. Yeah, but I get the Lawrence.

oh my, I hope someone here can understand it!! Yes, I suppose you would have seen the Sahara, right? Do people ever have picnics there?(maybe along an oasis!!)

My complete inability to describe my utmost fascination and deep tender love for the Kalahari and the Namib desert is a mystery. Also off course the Sahara. I should have been Lawrence of Arabia
