Manden som sagde alting på forhånd
Så ivrig efter at foregribe
hvad den anden har at sige
at han siger det på forhånd
som en lygtemand
der danser foran
ud i disen.
Med sine spejlblink fra den anden
side grænsen
med suk og klager gnomagtig
munterhed og himmelvendte øjne
fremmaner han i luften
had den anden endnu aldrig havde tankt
og et palads af selvmodsigelser
og febervilde postulater simpelt vrøvl
stråler i sumpen.
The man who said everything in advance
So eager was he to anticipate
what the other person has to say
that he says it in advance
like a will-o’-the-wisp
that dances ahead
out into the mist.
With his mirror glimpses from the far
side of the border
with sighs and moans gnome-like
cheerfulness and eyes turned heavenward
he conjures up in the air
what the other person as yet had never thought
and a palace of self-contradictions
and delirious postulates sheer nonsense
gleam in the marsh.
