i’m just saying that

—ik zeg alleen maar dat
—dat porno poëzie is de poëzie is onecht
—je doet het weer
—wat doe ik nou eigenlijk
—je doet precies dat dat
—daar zit het in
—waarin de porno
—en daarin
—je doet het weer
—het overkomt me gewoon
—moeten we daarnaartoe
—alleen dat de kamer vol boeken staat
rijen en rijen die ik zelf alfabetiseerde ik zette

elk boek op de plank omdat ik zo graag naar binnen wilde

—muren en muren vol met allerlei soorten porno

—i’m just saying that
—that porn is poem the poem is false
—you’re doing it again
—doing what exactly
—exactly that that thing
—it’s in there
—in where the porn
—no in there
—you’re doing it again
—i just can’t help it
—do we have to go there
—it’s just that the room is filled with books
rows upon rows that I myself alphabetized i shelved
every book in my eagerness to come in
—walls upon walls of all kinds of porn
