LASER
Eight full moons dance
bounce tight beam
bundles off the heavens
glide along the River
An office block becomes a haunted keep
reflects in black the city
laser ghosts rise
stiff and whitely from the roof
A cyberpoetess
shivers in Techno City
at three horny honchos
heading for the whores
better not bend
between the junkies
over piles of old books
swollen with rain
And the badmouth bum curses
"Shit, no poetry"
.
Translated from the Dutch by Sam Garrett
