The Damschreeuwer and his suburban madness

Amsterdam,

The soup is untasty and called Goulash Soep in my native Dutch but as always at the De Tweede Mijl - aka as De Tweede Kwijl because of their foul food, never mind the stuff has been donated to this volunteer run homeless centre smack in the middle of the Amsterdam Jordaan, by the Appie Heyn supermarket in the Westerstraat - take what you get and shovel it down your homeless and sour smelly street person mouth weithout complaint, don't foget to listen to our bible songs and gospel cantations, however cantankerous you might feel due to your latest police ticket for sleeping in the park again ...

The bloke opposite me is dressed in a 600 Euro Armani suit, 200 Euro snake leather shoes and boasting about his upcoming trail, some sort of high time dope pusher who has gone downhill but still clings to his expensive clothes??? Clamoring about suburban madness and the injustice of the system, showing his table partners the few coins left of his dole money, all his dough gone to his tailor, I guess...

Only when he walks out of the joint I realise he is the notorious Damschreeuwer, the freak who started screaming his head of last year during the silence period of the Dutch Dodenherdenking - the day we remember our fallen comrats during the Nasi swines' occupation of our beloved Dutch soil - people panicking and running all around like beheaded chicken, trampling those that were unlucky enough to lose their footing in the ensuiing Mêlee...

He seemed proud enough about his nickname the Dutch press gave him after his little stunt, even giving me the address of his very own personal website before departing and leaving me in the same sort of bewilderment as those that were rushed to hospital, trampled and all that, those that came to Dam square here in Amsterdam to commemerate the deatd war victims but nearly lost their lives themselves by the Cry For Attention of a mad man..

Anyway here is his website, just in case you wanna check it out...www.damschreeuwer.yolasite.com...he even plans to publish a collumn each month about his personal vision on the Dutch society, his ideas of Suburban Madness.
