Freda Kamphuis gedicht: Zebrale sacratie

 

Zebrale sacratie

Zich veilig wanende op zebra

oefende hij tegelijk yoga

wapperde met armen

als vogel

dacht niet aan nul procent bescherming

die gemiddelde zebra ons biedt.

 

Precies in het midden

deed hij moeilijkste oefening

kantelde

zijn hoofd richting straat

in omgekeerde staat

balanceert hij nog steeds daar.

 

Wonderbaarlijk genoeg

suist verkeer nu al twee dagen lang

rakelings langs

hoofdstaande man

hij drukt letterlijk weg, de weg

voor de duvel niet bang

in zijn eigen tijd

oogt hij

waarlijk bevrijd.
