Poetry René van Densen - gedichten
Handcuffs and paperclips

In the nick of time
An 80ies icon makes it out of there
That was the time that heroes could still
save the day

It didn’t matter what you did to them
Their chin up
Their eyes brave
A handcuff could be unlocked
With a paperclip
And world disaster avoided
By cutting one wire
You just needed to know which colour

In the nick of time
An 80ies icon releases a movie
In the current day
The hero finds himself in a world
of fifty shades of shit
And to his surprise

His gun fires
Real bullets.
