Det var ikke så meget fordi, at jeg var nøgen, det var mere komikken i situationen, et moment af total udstillelse i en række af oplevelser, der kun havde fået magtesløsheden til at vokse og overgivelsen ditto. (1)
This is transit, this is Frankfurt, a corner of a restaurant, green tea and sparkling water.
This is 6 hours and 40 minutes to departure and 17 hours and 41 minutes to arrival. This is the second stop in a tour that started wednesday at 10 o’clock + 6 hours, that is, at 4 o’clock pm two days ago. This is two days and 50 minutes later. This is after visits at the immigration office after closing hour. This is no sleep and computer black out.
This is communication Santiago – Seattle – Sao Paolo – Gothenburg – Paris – Frankfurt – Copenhagen. This is the tour in the carousel. This is the power of centrifugal force. This is a sleepy body in an alert mind. This is a sleepy mind in an alert body.
Så det var der jeg stod, på et afsides handicaptoilet.
Endelig fri, ingen snærende ligninger, ingen skarvende sko, ingen stramme strømper. Kun vand på hud, vand og genoplivede celler, vand, der vågner op. Jeg genkendte mig selv, mærkede. Til dørhåndtaget langsomt bevægede sig ned og døren op, sært sløvt, akkompagneret af mine stadigt hektiske hov.
Hov hov. Hov hov! Hov!! Og dér gled den modvilligt i igen. Ssschlapp, klunk. (2)
Frankfurt Lufthavn, fredag d. 17. juli, 2009
___________
(1) It was not because i was naked, it was the irony of the situation reaching a moment of complete and unwanted exhibisionism after a series of situations that only made the powerlessness grow and concluded my full surrender.
(2) So, I was standing in this handicap toilet with a feeling of freedom, no itching clothes, shoes or socks. Only water, water on my skin, water to revive, to make me wake up. I recognised myself, touched. And here the door handled slowly went down and the door up, unhurriedly, but followed by my increasingly loud; Hov, hov hov! HOV! And that, that was when the door unwillingly closed again. Ssschlap, klunk.
