Social engineering With a human face Everyone except me Knows exactly why they’re here The order of life is transparent An ant farm between two plates of glass There’s no unemployment office in this town No old folks home either The common workers sleep in barracks If they lose their jobs they lose their beds In the long subarctic winter The human moles Digging the underground powerhouses See the sun only once a week The pay is fabulous But there’s nothing to spend it on.

(Ik zou over gewone mensen moeten schrijven Belangrijk werk Willen ze lezen Zijn wij eens iemand Een schrijver Een gezicht Het diepe van de gewone mens Wat drijft hem Nu als ze ons lezen Een boodschappenlijst roept meer beroering op zien ze iets voor zich...) Drie veters Een pond honger En een fles zout sap Ga door Spreek wat niet bestaat Als ik blijf spreken Sterft het niet In mij niet Niet in ons Woorden die rijzen op kosmische wind En nergens aankomen Woorden die stil blijven hangen Terwijl het universum om ze heen draait
