Days of woe and happiness


When the European climate disappoints you
Tears of onions will rain in a Chilean vegetable garden

If a freezing cold in a wooden Finnish cottage
Dispels the summer season out of the heart of Sweden

When a smug Dutch lackey plays golf
On the remains of a beergarden in Singapore

If an Afghan teenage girl without burka
Speaks fluent Frisian and skates on thin ice

When Christmas in German style flourishes
In flowerpots on a wall of rice paper in Japan

If that is why the summer explodes in your heart
Aren’t you exactly at the place where you want to be
