Advent
It starts already in September
sneaks up on you
when you least expect
you freeze, a shiver down your spine
but there, in the windings of the brain
the deceiving jingling pops up
welcome as zits in a teenage mirror
You try to fight it off, but then
but then in the shop
the frantic wailing from Mariah
all I want for Christmas is youOUOUOUOUOUOUOUOU
it sticks in your poor brain
like chewing gum under your shoe
You flee out the door while trying to keep your lunch
trying to calm down with a nice coffee
only to be punched in the face by
the ultimate torture
last Christmas I gave you my heart
a Wham in your gut
then you know, you have to succumb
to three months of terror
stumbling off, hollow eyes and pale
whistling jingle bells, jingle bells
Let the celebration begin, ha de Gött!

Boxed in
The world is full of boxed in people constipated in their four wheel containers in endless bumper to bumper lanes rubbing shoulders with underground strangers rich and fame like an Instagram post cardboard poor as a news flash in the gutter hollow eyes rushing to lock themselves in afraid to be a wrapped give away by a white bearded man on boxing day
Keep your box open and let life in, ha de Gött!

Curious
They say that cows are dumb
but they are not
probably smarter than you and me
live a life so carefree
social, together in a flock
roaming calmly in pastures green
while the farmer collect the winter hay
curious, just like the cat
that camera, can it be eaten
will you scratch behind my ears
Stay curious, you will learn something. Ha de Gött!

Greener
Is it really true what they say
Been wondering every day
The grass is greener on the other side
The question is sometimes more interesting than the answer, ha de Gött!

Shipyard
Like many cities in Northern Europe the Danish city Helsingør has a history of ship building. These large shipyard areas are now under development for tourism and new businesses, very different from the noisy shipbuilding industry. I do think Helsingør does a good job developing and at the same time honour the hard working people in the shipyards. Makes me feel good as my own father was a welder at a shipyard in Göteborg, Sweden.
History is the mirror to the future, ha de Gött!

Other side of the other side
Some pictures from the other side of the other side, the East side Gallery. There are 105 wall paintings from different artist on this 1316 meters long remains of the Berlin wall. It was painted in 1990 on the east side as a celebration of the opening of the wall. Today it stand as an open air gallery with over 3 million visitors yearly.
If the east or west side was the front side of the wall I let everyone decide for themselves. I only know that a wall designed to separate people and families is never a good thing.
Translation for non German speakers on two of the paintings. “Don’t forget my love”, “The persistence of ignorance”.
Always check the other side, and be glad you can. Ha de Gött!

Driftwood
Driftwood on a stony beach at Trossö-Kalvö. Someone, somewhere cut it down and let it fall into the sea. Currents and winds brought it here to frame this picture. Did it come from just around the corner, the next island or did it float in here with the Golf Stream from distant shores. Only Njord knows.
Njord (Njǫrðr) is the sea god of the Nordic mythology.
Go with the flow and see where it takes you, ha de Gött!
