wat bang-alleen tussen mense gaan,
en tot die aand die bly herinnering dra
wanneer ek één ontmoet het wat verstaan,
toe was jou warm stem en oë soos dié
waarvan ‘n mens somtyds mag droom… en ek
het willoos-kalm jou laat begaan, toe jy
die digte sluier van my siel wegtrek.
Jy het, sonder jammerklag of walging, daar
verminkte lyke van vertroue en hoop
gevind, en oor die ope wonde toe
die olie van jou liefde sag laat loop…
I need a massage
I need a holiday
I need an interesting job
I need to finish my studies soon
I need to meet the endless deadlines
I need money
I need a one-way ticket to London or anywhere else in the world
I need a social life
I need energy
I need to know there are people who really care about me
I need to know the meaning of all this mindless boredom in my life
I need to get my appetite back
I need to drink less coffee
I need to quit some bad habits
I need to get a grip on my life
I need to think about next year
I need more sleep
I just need to get away...
Seems like nothing much has changed since March 2006...
