Opinions tend to shift,
From transparent and bright,
Into the shadowy world,
Of black and white.

What once was straightforward,
Gets entrapped in a linguistic fall,
You’ll soon be at a loss,
Upon entering the arena in any city hall.

London City Hall, the headquarters of
the Greater London Authority.

Southwark, on the south bank of the
River Thames

Flamingo
Burgers Zoo

Stranded boat

River Waal
Beneden Leeuwen
The Netherlands

Is this beauty ,
Noted before?
Am I the first?
Or one out of more?

Is this typical Dutch,
Or just commonplace?
Shall I keep this shot?
Or just press erase?

My thoughts spin round,
And grind, and grind.
It feels like a windmill,
Has occupied my mind.

Minder water,
Meer paal !
Vastgelegd voor later,
Dit beeld van de Waal.
