doggerland

doggerland


deep underneath the sea

there used to be a land where man stretched out

where animals roamed and hunters raised their kin

now on the way to Denmark

boats and ships ferry "travellers" in what was the sky

the blue sea was their blue sky


if i told you that in the future big sea-bound ships would sail across our flight paths

making future plane crash-fuselage come to rest in what is now the sky

and stay drowned in the sky

deep underneath tomorrow, but high up in today's language

and that all present sunken ships and planes didn't really sail or fly to a man alive in a time gone
by


would you fully grasp the concept

of man knapping flints with quartz hammers

of skinning other humans

and hunting deer and wildebeest and bison

where deep sea divers now fly ?

looking down on what they think has always been "down"

would you get Doggerland ?
