Esther Porcelijn: Optocht

porcelijnesther101

Optocht

Haar iets te dikke billen passen net in het rokje.
Ze papiermacheet zich om de mannen,
Tapt hun oksels voor tweedehands bier.
Ze loopt vooraan, danst rond de wagen,
Toet toet toeteren haar heupen
Naar een knappe jongen.
Nog twee dagen te gaan!
Ze trekt de massa mee met haar slingerboa.
Er kruist een rouwstoet. oma wordt begraven.
De zwarte en kleurenvlaggetjes verstrikken.
In de kerk wordt gesproken over vroeger en nu,
Over port en frietjes.
`Bier en tietjes´, roept iemand op straat.
Zij kijkt op, pruilt naar de familie,
De familie lacht terug.
Beiden stijgen op, verdoofd.
Alles is traditie.
