Source text - Dutch op de kop van het dorp
waar planken de bestrating vervangen
cafe-restaurant 'de zeebries'
vlaggemast frisdrank vlag
in het dorp achter het duin oefent
een brassband
over het binneterras waart
de geur van frites en koffie
op tafel staat een
televisie zonder geluid
een middag in september
een speedboat op zee
'al 'n uurlang dezelfde stomme
reclame' zeurt de meisje slaperig
op de schouders van een vader
naast een asbak schoeit 'n sigaret
een gat in een plastic tafelkleed
ver weg op het strand onder
de branding spelen kinderen
op het beeldscherm zinken steeds
weer dezelfde twee wolkenkrabbers
in de wolken van hun stof omlaag
een brassband oefent achter
het duin in het dorp
over het achterland klimt een
rookpluim
een kerkklok luidt
Translation - English mondrian under fire
at the head of the village
where the paving turns to planking
restaurant-pub ‘the sea breeze’
flagpole softdrinksbanner
rehearsing in the village behind the dunes
a brassband
across the terrace wafts
the scent of fries and coffee
on the table a mute
television
an afternoon in September
a speedboat out at sea
‘the same stupid ad for over an
hour,’ a girl moans drowsy upon
the shoulders of a father
next to an ashtray a cigarette
twists a hole in a plastic table cloth
far away children play
under the surf
on the screen the same two skyscrapers
sink again and again into their own dust clouds
a brassband rehearses behind
the dunes in the village
over the hinterland a plume of smoke climbs
a church bell tolls.
