De netten
trekken aan
ze staan gereed
gekleed in blauw
donkerblauw
met strop
of strak
mantelpak

de netten
trekken aan
wie spartelt
kan de kogel …

of toch niet?

The nets
are closing in
they stand ready
clad in blue
dark blue
with a noose
or a tight-fitting
suit

the nets
are closing in
whoever struggles
may get the bullet…

or perhaps not?
