Street poems Ongoing online project about personal notes which I found in streets and public spaces, over a period of several years.

Street poem 1: I am the opposite. 

 

Translation: 

 

I am the opposite of your ideals.

I will not marry you.

I will not have a relationship with you.

I won't even date you.

In fact, our relationship does not go beyond the purely physical.

I don't even want your telephone number.

You can have mine, so you can decide if you will call me again.

I'm the one your mother warned you about.

Location: Maastricht, Netherlands.

Street poem 2: Eveline
