You're late

You're late

It's at the

Jansbinnensingel

up the stairs

'ring'

and brushing feet

at the coconut mat

                       so healthy coconut is

                I have to tell you

                        But maybe not for feet

                           with shoes made in Italy

                               the holes carefully covered

                       by a real leather patch

Then

'knock knock'

entering the brown room

with brown red curtains

moving in the draft

mixed with sigar smell.

Those days

when watching the head editor

makes you feel

the patch under your shoes

when his room-brown eyes

pierce through the clock.

'You're late'
