"Vergeet maar van ontsnap 
Jy is sy ete, klaar betrap 
Hy soek nou eers sy hap"

"The old fingers shaking a little, determined to hold on, 
The piece of toast, clamped securely, 
the last of the jam, a bright spot of colour 
the old man pauses, delaying his pleasure"

"Have you ever wondered, what if you were not 
This morning, in the body that you got 
No longer favourite of your mother 
Just an ordinary, someone other"

"When we met, I was someone, we both never knew"

"Release the cables wound around
Your lungs so tight that not a sound
Of truly you can squeeze it through
To open up for all to view"

"Maar van al die gegroet vir ander gesinslede en uitvra oor hulle gesondheid en kwale, het Pa genoeg gehad. Sy harde uitroep laat my verstaan – die tronkstraf sal onmiddellik hervat moet word!"
