\n<\/em>na bezoek aan Kopje T.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nall obligations laid to rest.
\nNo bosses to please, no haikus to write,
\nand not a complaint on your chest.<\/p>\n
\nwith her busily peopled squares
\ncan one simply let one’s hair down
\nand escape from worldly cares?<\/p>\n
\nthere are human statues galore.
\nIf lucky, you won’t be run over
\ncoming out of your own front door.<\/p>\n
\nto this imperative need for peace:
\nsit down on the steps of a mansion
\n(in sunshine) for instant release.<\/p>\n
\nand scribble whatever you like,
\ndraw a sketch of a dreamy canal
\nor a schoolboy pedalling his bike.<\/p>\n
\nyou see things the Japanese way.
\nGo back to the caf\u00e9 you came from,
\ntell the waitress you’re feeling OK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
