            Slow

            De dood is een tempowisseling
            De oorlog wordt gewoon doorgezet
            Maar met andere middelen: let
            Niet op details, de uitmonstering

            Alertheid moet kleven op ritmiek,
            Urgentie en kracht, stop de stoptrein
            Van alledag, stap op de landmijn
            Van het gaspedaal, wordt wagenziek

            Het leven baart de traagheid, meteen
            Wordt teruggeschakeld in het zicht
            Van het er zijn, wij vallen in zwijm

            Als wij moeten rennen, vliegen: één
            Tel maar met de snelheid van het licht
            De dood treft ons, slakken door de lijm


            C. Gijsen, maart 2011

            Slow

            Stop and think, death is a change of pace
            It won’t stop war, there will just be more
            Even though the means may change: ignore
            The dress and details, the outward face

            Take rhythm, urgency and strength; stick
            Attentiveness on them, and stop that
            Everyday slow train, step on that fat
            Landmine the gas-pedal, get carsick

            Life gives birth to slowness, just begun
            We straightaway shift down at the sight
            Of being there, without any clue

            We faint when we must run or fly, one
            Second only at the speed of light
            And death gets us - snails wading through glue


            C. Gijsen, March 2011
