How can you draw an animal with its legs sticking up in the air, she asked. Oh yes, that's true, with fantasy drawing everything is allowed, said the teacher. Now soundlessly open the door of t shirts the living room. Clouds prick yellow light into my eyes--pain. Mammarosa t shirts and her friend are lying motionless on the sofa, dead or something?--through the slits of my eyes I see dirtyfilthygrubby bareness--cold sweat on my back: cause for laughter-- Mammarosa, not large and broad, but white and faraway, in a knot which frightens me. She t shirts puts down her head on the sofa--fish head. She does not say what's up with you, she does not say go and sit down on the sofa--I don't want to be on the sofa, the sofa on which she is lying, Mammarosa with her legs ridiculously curled up, wallpaper frog.--I know all about it. I am not a boy. `I have scary dreams.' Translated from the Dutch by Greta Kilburn, Amsterdam, 1996.
