Aller f\u00f8rst skal jeg undfanges.
\nDet s\u00f8rger <\/span>mine<\/span> for\u00e6ldre for.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Generne blandes,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og spillet kan g\u00e5 i gang.
\n<\/span><\/strong>S\u00e5 begynder opstigningen.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Tight rope!
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg holder krampagtigt fast,
\n<\/span><\/strong>h\u00e6nger p\u00e5,
\n<\/span><\/strong>udnytter ethvert fremspring,
\n<\/span><\/strong>enhver spalte.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Benene skal l\u00f8fte,
\n<\/span><\/strong>armene blot
\n<\/span><\/strong>holde ved,
\n<\/span><\/strong>jeg sparker fra mig \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg har s\u00f8stre og br\u00f8dre p\u00e5 vej
\n<\/span><\/strong>b\u00e5de f\u00f8r og efter,
\n<\/span><\/strong>men de klarer det ikke,
\n<\/span><\/strong>alle m\u00e5 slippe og falder,
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver skyllet ud,
\n<\/span><\/strong>tr\u00e6k og slip \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Men ikke jeg,
\n<\/span><\/strong>jeg h\u00e6nger p\u00e5 \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>P\u00e5 et tidspunkt
\n<\/span><\/strong>i syvende m\u00e5ned
\n<\/span><\/strong>kniber det,
\n<\/span><\/strong>r\u00e5ddent fjeld! \u00a0\u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Min mor kommer til unds\u00e6tning,
\n<\/span><\/strong>l\u00e6gger sig vandret
\n<\/span><\/strong>i selen
\n<\/span><\/strong>i to m\u00e5neder,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og redder mig.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg presser mig selv til det yderste,
\n<\/span><\/strong>min mor skubber p\u00e5,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og sammen klarer vi
\n<\/span><\/strong>lige pr\u00e6cis
\n<\/span><\/strong>det f\u00f8rste udh\u00e6ng \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>hvor efter jeg
\n<\/span><\/strong>mister pusten,
\n<\/span><\/strong>glemmer at tr\u00e6kke vejret,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og m\u00e5 bankes til live,
\n<\/span><\/strong>inden jeg endelig
\n<\/span><\/strong>kan se lys \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Omgivelserne
\n<\/span><\/strong>tr\u00e6der langsomt frem \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>ret forvirrende \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>alting st\u00e5r p\u00e5 hovedet
\n<\/span><\/strong>i begyndelsen \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Men centrum
\n<\/span><\/strong>i min nye verden
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver hurtigt
\n<\/span><\/strong>min mors
\n<\/span><\/strong>lykkelige smil \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Min fars lykkelige smil
\n<\/span><\/strong>f\u00f8lger efter \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Stolte bedstefor\u00e6ldre kigger op.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Mostre, fastre, onkler, tanter.
\n<\/span><\/strong>F\u00e6tre og kusiner klatrer med
\n<\/span><\/strong>p\u00e5 vejen op.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Der er lagt an
\n<\/span><\/strong>til en god barndom!
\n<\/span><\/strong>P\u00e5 en li
\n<\/span><\/strong>et stykke oppe
\n<\/span><\/strong>sl\u00e5s jeg med en j\u00e6vnaldrende
\n<\/span><\/strong>f\u00e6tter, i mangel af
\n<\/span><\/strong>br\u00f8dre \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg sl\u00e5s ogs\u00e5 med
\n<\/span><\/strong>kammerater. Pander
\n<\/span><\/strong>en en med en skovl
\n<\/span><\/strong>i et angstfyldt
\n<\/span><\/strong>selvforsvar,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og er i det hele taget
\n<\/span><\/strong>et temmeligt
\n<\/span><\/strong>asocialt
\n<\/span><\/strong>enebarn \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Efter en del mareridt
\n<\/span><\/strong>n\u00e5r jeg op p\u00e5
\n<\/span><\/strong>n\u00e6ste plateau,
\n<\/span><\/strong>skolen for livet,
\n<\/span><\/strong>fr\u00f8ken J\u00f8rgensen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>hr. Mikkelsen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>l\u00e6ring
\n<\/span><\/strong>og lussinger \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg l\u00e6rer efterh\u00e5nden
\n<\/span><\/strong>at l\u00e6se bjerget,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og det g\u00e5r op for mig,
\n<\/span><\/strong>at fjeldet gemmer
\n<\/span><\/strong>mange sk\u00e6bner \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Enhver afvigelse
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver helt naturligt
\n<\/span><\/strong>identificeret,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og medf\u00f8rer \u00f8jeblikkeligt
\n<\/span><\/strong>drilleri.
\n<\/span><\/strong>En pige med en medf\u00f8dt
\n<\/span><\/strong>d\u00e5rlig arm,
\n<\/span><\/strong>to piger der
\n<\/span><\/strong>af religi\u00f8se \u00e5rsager
\n<\/span><\/strong>skal have skolefri
\n<\/span><\/strong>om l\u00f8rdagen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>en dreng med eksem,
\n<\/span><\/strong>eller mig selv,
\n<\/span><\/strong>der bare er lidt stor \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Fattigdom kan der imod
\n<\/span><\/strong>ikke umiddelbart ses
\n<\/span><\/strong>og betyder ikke noget.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Vi bes\u00f8ger familien
\n<\/span><\/strong>i London en sommer,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og i byens centrum
\n<\/span><\/strong>oplever jeg
\n<\/span><\/strong>en m\u00e6rkeligt udseende
\n<\/span><\/strong>gammel mand
\n<\/span><\/strong>i en tyk sort
\n<\/span><\/strong>vinterfrakke.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Han r\u00e6kker venstre arm op
\n<\/span><\/strong>i en h\u00f8jt siddende
\n<\/span><\/strong>skraldespand,
\n<\/span><\/strong>m\u00e6rker efter,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og finder resterne
\n<\/span><\/strong>af en vaffel
\n<\/span><\/strong>uden is,
\n<\/span><\/strong>som han \u00f8jeblikkeligt
\n<\/span><\/strong>konsumerer \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg er tolv \u00e5r,
\n<\/span><\/strong>if\u00f8rt shorts
\n<\/span><\/strong>og et nyindk\u00f8bt
\n<\/span><\/strong>h\u00e5bl\u00f8st engelsk slips,
\n<\/span><\/strong>samt en pose slik
\n<\/span><\/strong>fra Petticoat Lane,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og eget fotografiapparat,
\n<\/span><\/strong>nu med billeder
\n<\/span><\/strong>af Trafalger Square
\n<\/span><\/strong>med duer,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og Westminster Abbey,
\n<\/span><\/strong>checket, tror jeg nok.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Men glemmer
\n<\/span><\/strong>det hele,
\n<\/span><\/strong>mens det langsomt
\n<\/span><\/strong>g\u00e5r op for mig,
\n<\/span><\/strong>at denne mand
\n<\/span><\/strong>ikke bare er fattig,
\n<\/span><\/strong>men ogs\u00e5 hjeml\u00f8s
\n<\/span><\/strong>og alene
\n<\/span><\/strong>i verden,
\n<\/span><\/strong>chokerende \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Samme \u00e5r
\n<\/span><\/strong>taler Martin Luther King
\n<\/span><\/strong>for tohundredetusinde mennesker
\n<\/span><\/strong>i Washington,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og via fjernsyn ogs\u00e5
\n<\/span><\/strong>for resten af verden,
\n<\/span><\/strong>for mig:
\n<\/span><\/strong>I have a dream! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Hvorf\u00f3r
\n<\/span><\/strong>m\u00e5 de ikke
\n<\/span><\/strong>g\u00e5 i samme skole,
\n<\/span><\/strong>k\u00f8re i samme bus,
\n<\/span><\/strong>sidde p\u00e5 samme b\u00e6nk?
\n<\/span><\/strong>Mennesker
\n<\/span><\/strong>som mig,
\n<\/span><\/strong>blot med
\n<\/span><\/strong>en anden farve? \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Hverken v\u00e6rre eller bedre
\n<\/span><\/strong>end mig,
\n<\/span><\/strong>blot med
\n<\/span><\/strong>en anden farve? \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Samme \u00e5r
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver Kennedy
\n<\/span><\/strong>skudt,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og jeg fatter
\n<\/span><\/strong>det forf\u00e6rdelige,
\n<\/span><\/strong>uden helt
\n<\/span><\/strong>at forst\u00e5 det \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Verden \u00e5bner sig
\n<\/span><\/strong>s\u00e5ledes
\n<\/span><\/strong>mere og mere
\n<\/span><\/strong>jo h\u00f8jere
\n<\/span><\/strong>jeg kommer op,
\n<\/span><\/strong>jo mere udsyn
\n<\/span><\/strong>jeg f\u00e5r,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og jeg begynder
\n<\/span><\/strong>at forst\u00e5,
\n<\/span><\/strong>at denne verden,
\n<\/span><\/strong>\u00e5benbart
\n<\/span><\/strong>er hamrende
\n<\/span><\/strong>uretf\u00e6rdig
\n<\/span><\/strong>og forkert! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Da doktor King
\n<\/span><\/strong>fem \u00e5r senere
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver skudt \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>gr\u00e6der jeg
\n<\/span><\/strong>tr\u00f8stesl\u00f8s \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og endnu en Kennedy \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og det knuste
\n<\/span><\/strong>for\u00e5r i Prag,
\n<\/span><\/strong>igen med mennesker,
\n<\/span><\/strong>der mister h\u00e5bet \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg er for ung
\n<\/span><\/strong>til at v\u00e6re 68\u2019er,
\n<\/span><\/strong>men tilh\u00f8rer generationen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>der st\u00e5r og ser p\u00e5,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og fors\u00f8ger
\n<\/span><\/strong>at tage ved l\u00e6re \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Samme \u00e5r
\n<\/span><\/strong>m\u00f8der jeg
\n<\/span><\/strong>k\u00e6rligheden
\n<\/span><\/strong>endegyldigt,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og livet genopst\u00e5r
\n<\/span><\/strong>af asken! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Ryk frem
\n<\/span><\/strong>ryk op
\n<\/span><\/strong>og flyv over
\n<\/span><\/strong>det n\u00e6ste udh\u00e6ng!
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg klatrer ikke mere
\n<\/span><\/strong>alene! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg samler viden,
\n<\/span><\/strong>mens jeg kravler videre,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og ser nu
\n<\/span><\/strong>bomber der falder,
\n<\/span><\/strong>skove der br\u00e6nder,
\n<\/span><\/strong>mennesker der br\u00e6nder,
\n<\/span><\/strong>napalm! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>En forsvarsl\u00f8s mand
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver skudt,
\n<\/span><\/strong>henrettet,
\n<\/span><\/strong>p\u00e5 \u00e5ben gade! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>En n\u00f8gen kvinde
\n<\/span><\/strong>skriger afsindigt
\n<\/span><\/strong>af sansel\u00f8s
\n<\/span><\/strong>r\u00e6dsel! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Vietnam
\n<\/span><\/strong>i al din gru,
\n<\/span><\/strong>vi er vidner! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Kan ikke mere
\n<\/span><\/strong>gemme os,
\n<\/span><\/strong>ikke mere lade
\n<\/span><\/strong>som ingenting.
\n<\/span><\/strong>TV har taget
\n<\/span><\/strong>vores uskyld! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Skyerne
\n<\/span><\/strong>tr\u00e6kker sig sammen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver kulsorte,
\n<\/span><\/strong>jeg kan intet se,
\n<\/span><\/strong>g\u00e5r i st\u00e5,
\n<\/span><\/strong>mister pusten,
\n<\/span><\/strong>er panikslagen angst
\n<\/span><\/strong>for at falde ned \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og m\u00e5 sparkes i gang,
\n<\/span><\/strong>f\u00f8r jeg endelig
\n<\/span><\/strong>genfinder lys \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og m\u00f8jsommeligt
\n<\/span><\/strong>n\u00e5r op p\u00e5

\n<\/span><\/strong>afsats \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Solidaritet!

\n<\/span><\/strong>over for pengenes
\n<\/span><\/strong>ublu og kyniske
\n<\/span><\/strong>magt,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og vi taler
\n<\/span><\/strong>vel at m\u00e6rke
\n<\/span><\/strong>om mennesker,
\n<\/span><\/strong>der blot vil leve
\n<\/span><\/strong>i fred! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>David vinder
\n<\/span><\/strong>til sidst
\n<\/span><\/strong>og Goliat
\n<\/span><\/strong>humper hjemad
\n<\/span><\/strong>s\u00e5ret og
\n<\/span><\/strong>forsm\u00e5et!
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og vi f\u00f8ler igen
\n<\/span><\/strong>stilf\u00e6rdigt
\n<\/span><\/strong>at der trods alt
\n<\/span><\/strong>er nogen retf\u00e6rdighed til. \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og s\u00e5 f\u00f8der vi
\n<\/span><\/strong>vores f\u00f8rste barn!
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og det er vores tur
\n<\/span><\/strong>til at smile
\n<\/span><\/strong>lykkeligt! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Solen skinner
\n<\/span><\/strong>og bjerget

\n<\/span><\/strong>for en tid \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Hvorfor
\n<\/span><\/strong>denne evindelige
\n<\/span><\/strong>klatren,
\n<\/span><\/strong>kravlen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>kamp
\n<\/span><\/strong>for at komme op?
\n<\/span><\/strong>Aner det ikke,
\n<\/span><\/strong>jeg g\u00f8r det bare,
\n<\/span><\/strong>men undrer mig ogs\u00e5,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og begynder at bruge
\n<\/span><\/strong>\u00f8jnene \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>kigger ned \u2013

\n<\/span><\/strong>at styre sit,

\n<\/span><\/strong>en chance! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Vi har i mellemtiden
\n<\/span><\/strong>f\u00f8dt vores andet barn!
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og smiler
\n<\/span><\/strong>lykkeligt! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg er lidt langsom
\n<\/span><\/strong>i optr\u00e6kket,
\n<\/span><\/strong>men aner ind imellem,
\n<\/span><\/strong>at der rent faktisk
\n<\/span><\/strong>ikke er grund til
\n<\/span><\/strong>ret meget andet,
\n<\/span><\/strong>end at v\u00e6re lykkelig \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Vi f\u00f8der vores tredje barn,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og smiler lykkeligt! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Hvor heldig kan man v\u00e6re?
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og vi f\u00f8der vores fjerde barn,

\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver skudt
\n<\/span><\/strong>en aften efter

\n<\/span><\/strong>I 1990\u2019erne
\n<\/span><\/strong>er det danske

\n<\/span><\/strong>ikke perfekt,

\n<\/span><\/strong>at der ikke eksisterer,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og n\u00e5r jeg kigger ned
\n<\/span><\/strong>ad bjerget,

\n<\/span><\/strong>Vi er ganske vist rige

\n<\/span><\/strong>Eve Of Destruction! –
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og s\u00e5 \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>\u00e6ndrer tingene sig
\n<\/span><\/strong>alligevel
\n<\/span><\/strong>p\u00e5 min f\u00e6rd op ad \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>perspektivet
\n<\/span><\/strong>forandrer sig
\n<\/span><\/strong>langsomt \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Utroligt
\n<\/span><\/strong>at jeg skal
\n<\/span><\/strong>s\u00e5 h\u00f8jt op
\n<\/span><\/strong>f\u00f8r jeg opdager
\n<\/span><\/strong>Sodoma
\n<\/span><\/strong>i diminutiv,
\n<\/span><\/strong>lille
\n<\/span><\/strong>og ubetydelig \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>mens
\n<\/span><\/strong>verden
\n<\/span><\/strong>breder sig ud
\n<\/span><\/strong>og fylder dalen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>vokser op
\n<\/span><\/strong>af bjergets sider,
\n<\/span><\/strong>overhaler mig
\n<\/span><\/strong>med morgenlysets
\n<\/span><\/strong>hast,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og i virkeligheden
\n<\/span><\/strong>har v\u00e6ret der
\n<\/span><\/strong>hele tiden,
\n<\/span><\/strong>over alt,
\n<\/span><\/strong>d\u00e6kker endog,
\n<\/span><\/strong>s\u00e5 vidt jeg n\u00fa kan se,
\n<\/span><\/strong>den mulige top,
\n<\/span><\/strong>jeg stiler mod \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>–
\n<\/span><\/strong>I tankerne ser jeg
\n<\/span><\/strong>ned igen og
\n<\/span><\/strong>tager turen
\n<\/span><\/strong>en gang til \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Som sagt
\n<\/span><\/strong>klarer jeg
\n<\/span><\/strong>begyndelsen
\n<\/span><\/strong>med lidt hj\u00e6lp.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg har en tryg
\n<\/span><\/strong>og god barndom.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg har to gode
\n<\/span><\/strong>for\u00e6ldre som
\n<\/span><\/strong>elsker mig,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og som er sammen
\n<\/span><\/strong>hele livet.
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg klatrer i tr\u00e6er
\n<\/span><\/strong>halvdags
\n<\/span><\/strong>i en god b\u00f8rnehave,
\n<\/span><\/strong>f\u00e5r l\u00e6st gode historier
\n<\/span><\/strong>af rare fr\u00f8kener,
\n<\/span><\/strong>Tante Gr\u00f8n, tante Brun
\n<\/span><\/strong>og tante Lilla, indbundet \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg l\u00e6rer at
\n<\/span><\/strong>l\u00e6se og forst\u00e5,
\n<\/span><\/strong>Guldlok og de tre bj\u00f8rne,
\n<\/span><\/strong>i en god skole,
\n<\/span><\/strong>l\u00e6rer at min egen
\n<\/span><\/strong>skygge
\n<\/span><\/strong>vender mod nord
\n<\/span><\/strong>klokken tolv,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og holder meget af
\n<\/span><\/strong>matematik,
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver grebet af
\n<\/span><\/strong>fysik og kemi,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og ikke mindst
\n<\/span><\/strong>biologi \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Gregor Mendel! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>den samme skole
\n<\/span><\/strong>i ti \u00e5r \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg studerer lykkeligt
\n<\/span><\/strong>friluftsliv \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>som spejder,
\n<\/span><\/strong>som lystfisker,
\n<\/span><\/strong>som fuglekigger,
\n<\/span><\/strong>p\u00e5 vandring,
\n<\/span><\/strong>i sommerhus \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>i midtjyske bakker \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og det bliver 1968,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og jeg m\u00f8der
\n<\/span><\/strong>en vidunderlig pige! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Som jeg her
\n<\/span><\/strong>toogfyrre \u00e5r efter
\n<\/span><\/strong>stadig er sammen med! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og det bliver 1968,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og jeg begynder p\u00e5 gymnasiet! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og det bliver 1968,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og jeg v\u00e5gner op,
\n<\/span><\/strong>starter p\u00e5 en frisk,
\n<\/span><\/strong>genf\u00f8des igen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>livet begynder
\n<\/span><\/strong>for alvor,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og hvem siger s\u00e5
\n<\/span><\/strong>at reinkarnation
\n<\/span><\/strong>ikke eksisterer? \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og det bliver 1968,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og livet nulstilles,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og mine tanker
\n<\/span><\/strong>begynder
\n<\/span><\/strong>langsomt
\n<\/span><\/strong>at rotere
\n<\/span><\/strong>og fungere
\n<\/span><\/strong>selvst\u00e6ndigt \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og den gr\u00e6ske filosofi,
\n<\/span><\/strong>k\u00e6rlighed til visdom,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og cogito ergo sum
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver til
\n<\/span><\/strong>experio ergo sum \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og jeg skrotter
\n<\/span><\/strong>efterh\u00e5nden
\n<\/span><\/strong>samtlige
\n<\/span><\/strong>religioner
\n<\/span><\/strong>som usammenh\u00e6ngende
\n<\/span><\/strong>splidskabende
\n<\/span><\/strong>skr\u00f8ner,
\n<\/span><\/strong>bort set fra
\n<\/span><\/strong>nogle f\u00e5
\n<\/span><\/strong>historiske facts,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og lidt anvendelig
\n<\/span><\/strong>etik,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og har det
\n<\/span><\/strong>godt
\n<\/span><\/strong>med det \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Bertelsen
\n<\/span><\/strong>i dansk
\n<\/span><\/strong>provokerer mig
\n<\/span><\/strong>tilstr\u00e6kkeligt
\n<\/span><\/strong>i skriftlig henseende \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og matematikeren
\n<\/span><\/strong>begynder
\n<\/span><\/strong>i det hele taget
\n<\/span><\/strong>at fornemme

\n<\/span><\/strong>vibrationer \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>J. P. Jacobsen \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg flirter lidt
\n<\/span><\/strong>med universitas,
\n<\/span><\/strong>helheden i livet \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og ender
\n<\/span><\/strong>i fast forhold
\n<\/span><\/strong>med at blive
\n<\/span><\/strong>l\u00e6rer,
\n<\/span><\/strong>l\u00e6rer for livet \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>bliver fascineret
\n<\/span><\/strong>af psykologi \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>f\u00e5r fede jobs,
\n<\/span><\/strong>tjener gode penge,
\n<\/span><\/strong>oplever livet igennem
\n<\/span><\/strong>stort set aldrig
\n<\/span><\/strong>at v\u00e6re uden arbejde \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Er nu,
\n<\/span><\/strong>her over tr\u00e6gr\u00e6nsen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>far til fire! –
\n<\/span><\/strong>morfar til to! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Fantastisk! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Har her
\n<\/span><\/strong>nioghalvtreds \u00e5r senere
\n<\/span><\/strong>aldrig oplevet krig
\n<\/span><\/strong>p\u00e5 kroppen \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og heller ikke
\n<\/span><\/strong>d\u00f8d eller ulykke
\n<\/span><\/strong>p\u00e5 kroppen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>hverken personligt,
\n<\/span><\/strong>eller familiem\u00e6ssigt
\n<\/span><\/strong>p\u00e5 kroppen,
\n<\/span><\/strong>ud over
\n<\/span><\/strong>hvad der
\n<\/span><\/strong>i almindelighed
\n<\/span><\/strong>kan forventes
\n<\/span><\/strong>af livet
\n<\/span><\/strong>med alderen \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Alvorlig sygdom
\n<\/span><\/strong>nok,
\n<\/span><\/strong>men vi overlevede
\n<\/span><\/strong>hver gang! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg lever stadig
\n<\/span><\/strong>lykkeligt! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og det er i det hele taget,
\n<\/span><\/strong>n\u00e5r jeg nu t\u00e6nker
\n<\/span><\/strong>n\u00e6rmere over det,
\n<\/span><\/strong>fantastisk sv\u00e6rt
\n<\/span><\/strong>at finde noget
\n<\/span><\/strong>at klage over! \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>–
\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg holder pause,
\n<\/span><\/strong>og solen skinner,
\n<\/span><\/strong>mens Hugin og Munin
\n<\/span><\/strong>bereder vejen
\n<\/span><\/strong>for kongens flugt,
\n<\/span><\/strong>\u00f8rnens ene \u00f8je
\n<\/span><\/strong>efterf\u00f8lgende
\n<\/span><\/strong>elegant flyvende
\n<\/span><\/strong>hen over hovedet \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og jeg drikker vand
\n<\/span><\/strong>af en klar kilde,
\n<\/span><\/strong>der l\u00f8ber ned
\n<\/span><\/strong>ad bjergets side \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Livet udvikler sig
\n<\/span><\/strong>Darwinistisk,
\n<\/span><\/strong>det har jeg aldrig
\n<\/span><\/strong>v\u00e6ret i tvivl om;
\n<\/span><\/strong>det passer med alt,
\n<\/span><\/strong>hvad jeg
\n<\/span><\/strong>har iagttaget,
\n<\/span><\/strong>men \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>hvad i alverden
\n<\/span><\/strong>f\u00e5r dette vand
\n<\/span><\/strong>her p\u00e5 bjergets side,
\n<\/span><\/strong>i al sin rislende
\n<\/span><\/strong>klarhed,
\n<\/span><\/strong>til at
\n<\/span><\/strong>l\u00f8be nedad? \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Tyngdekraften,
\n<\/span><\/strong>fjols!
\n<\/span><\/strong>Ja, det er selvf\u00f8lgelig
\n<\/span><\/strong>logik \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Men hvor kommer
\n<\/span><\/strong>denne logik
\n<\/span><\/strong>egentlig fra? \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Kunne man ikke,
\n<\/span><\/strong>med blot en smule
\n<\/span><\/strong>vanvid,
\n<\/span><\/strong>forestille sig
\n<\/span><\/strong>en anden logik \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>hvor vandet l\u00f8ber
\n<\/span><\/strong>op ad,
\n<\/span><\/strong>eller til siden? \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>Og i s\u00e5 tilf\u00e6lde:
\n<\/span><\/strong>Hvilken

\n<\/span><\/strong>har da valgt

\n<\/span><\/strong>Hvilken

\n<\/span><\/strong>–

\n<\/span><\/strong>og b\u00f8jes
\n<\/span><\/strong>en anelse

\n<\/span><\/strong>Jeg s\u00e6tter mig

\n<\/span><\/strong>t\u00e6nker jeg \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og glider over i

\n<\/span><\/strong>stilhed \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>–
\n<\/span><\/strong>og mens alfa
\n<\/span><\/strong>b\u00f8lgerne flyder \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>f\u00e5r jeg et billede frem
\n<\/span><\/strong>af dette bjerg \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og dets enorme
\n<\/span><\/strong>soliditet \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>tidl\u00f8shed \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>ro \u2013
\n<\/span><\/strong>og jeg synker ind i,

\n<\/span><\/strong>mens den nedadg\u00e5ende
\n<\/span><\/strong>sol
\n<\/span><\/strong>belyser
\n<\/span><\/strong>det fantastiske

\n<\/span><\/strong>som jeg,
\n<\/span><\/strong>med bevidsthed,
\n<\/span><\/strong>er s\u00e5 ufattelig

\n<\/span><\/strong>at f\u00e5 lov til
