After she left by car

“Sitze hier an lieber Stelle
Wo ich einst nicht sass alleine;
Damals klang hier süsse Rede
Wo ich heut’ mein Los beweine.”

We are the army of the roll containers

“I hear an army charging upon the land,
And the thunder of horses plunging, foam about their knees:
Arrogant, in black armour, behind them stand,
Disdaining the reins, with flutt’ring whips, the charioteers.”

(James Joyce in Chamber Music, no. 36)
‘s-Hertogenbosch (NL)

Only the boss forgot his car when the factory closed

“Asking only workmans wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on seventh avenue
I do declare
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.”

(Bob Dylan in The boxer)
Eindhoven (NL)

An idyllic parking place

“We embraced, there in the parking lot
of the ordinary.
How could I know your arms were arguing last things?”

(M. Kallet in Saying Goodbye)
Liège (B)
