Ordered before 17.00 delivered tomorrow, democracy



as if it could be besteld and delivered
slid through the brievenbus
and achteraf betaald or
returned within 30 days
geen vraag.
as if it could be besteld and delivered
via Uber Eats
and placed outside my door by
some young woman who I saw
last singing in some electro-pop band
during the Popronde years before.
as if could be besteld and delivered
by the PTT or whatever company now
owns the post and has bumped the
cost of the postage so high that
to send something found
in the kringloopwinkel to a loved one is
just way too expensive to make it anymore fun
or
worth the while.
as if it could be besteld and delivered
our common sense in an envelope from the GGD
saying that regardless of the current virus issues
tha our mental health status is A-OK and that the blue
envelopes will be postponed for a brighter day,
hahaha no fucking way.
as if it could be besteld and delivered
a sense of common decency
an integral idea of integrity
the simple acceptance of living together
and voting past the issues of you versus me
and of realizing that we should be scared shitless of
the potential uitverkoop of this democracy.
