Toepasselijke poëzie

Inferno in Maastricht




Weer hijs ik mij in het mottig pak
ijl naar de stad in loden schoenen
smaakt het carnavalsbier straks brak
wacht mij Charon's taxi, een laatste zoenen?




hoe fel ik ook mijn kleur ophoog
tot in de morgen grimasseer
genadeloos vormt mijn zweet een loog
door mijn blanketsel leekt mijn zeer




Ik blijf een vreemdeling in deze stad
in joelend Babylon onbesneden
altijd weer Babylonisch zat.




ijdel orerend, de jeugd versneden
sneuvel ik kotsend op het Bat
geen kater volgt er op mijn schreden





August Agasi


Sorry about this little Dutch interlude, but it's very appropriate for my yearly dillema during these weeks. Indeed, Carnival in Maastricht is around the corner. And this year, I can't be asked. I have a good mind of escaping the entire thing. Spend the three days of Maastricht Madness nicely ensconsed in my parental home. Spend the time reading books, watching movies..... save the countless euro's that would be spent on frites zoervleis, Carnaval costumes, taxi fares and, most of all, excessive amounts of beer (and I DO mean excessive...) for the more useful things in life... a holiday maybe, new clothes, dvd's, that kinda stuff. Yep, sounds like a plan...





Wellll..... maybe just the one day.... ;-)

I managed to persuade myself. I'm going, and looking forward to it!!

And yes, René is right ;)

Hi, Tim, I feel very honoured that you published my poem INFERNO IN MAASTRICHT. But I'm also very curious where you discovered this poem. Please tell me.
I tell you that after an interlude of eight years I found the courage to plonge again in the Maastricht carnaval. This time it was not an
infereno at all,even some moments I had the allusion to be in heaven.


Best regards,

August Agasi
