Blue-yellow barricades defeat
The wayward driver who stops short
How to proceed? Annoyed, distraught...
The Vivaqua* van has pride of place
View from my window – a disgrace
An impasse in my narrow road
Frustrations now in overload!
I come downstairs, must not be late
But they're cutting off the water – great -
Forget that nice hot cup of tea
Yes, Brussels is the place to be!
International hub, big Institutions,
Downtown, historical allusions
Quaint streets, good food, weird iffy weather
And chaotic roadworks - all together!
