When I was waiting in a bar where were you ?
When I was buying you a drink where were you ?
When I was crying home in bed where were you ?
When I watched you from a distance did you see me ?
You were standing in a queue did you see me ?
You had yellow hair did you see me ?
I want to talk to you all night do you like me ?
I want to find out about your life do you like me ?
Could you ever be my wife do you love me ?

6 july 2001 - Antwerpen, Belgium
In january 1999 Thai artist Sutee Kunavichayanont drew my attention to a street vendor with some root plants. It was used by buddhist forest monks to colour their robes, and supposedly coloured your teeth orange for a couple of days if you tasted it. Of course I did.
In summer 2001 AMVK noticed that the root which I had kept in a plastic bag was showing some kind of sprout. I placed it in a pot with some earth and for a long time nothing happened, and then two meager leaves appeared. Then, all of a sudden a wonderful flower appeared. The Young Flower stayed in Bloom for only two days and then completely shriveled up.
