Sacred Boxes – NRC

Marlies ter Voorde

We live in a pigeonhole society

And build, build, build is the slogan

So boxes are constantly being added

And there is always plenty of choice

There was once a plan to break them down

But hardly anyone had said that out loud

Or the protest broke out – the people turned out

Still quite attached to their loft

What stood out was: the biggest opponents

Had their loft tagged as ‘Dead normal’

That makes them Very Scarce Dutch

They are the weirdest of all
