that day

Today was the school’s Sports Day, out on the grounds of Amsterdam Oost Watergraafsmeer. Cycling back I noticed a series of motivational texts, sprayed onto the pavement behind the parking area, all in a row. Like a test strip. { I imagine a motivational Nike promo team, getting ready to ‘do Amsterdam’: stencils out, spray cans ready, a warming up for their mission: to cover the pavements in their catchy slogans and convert local runners to the Nike tribe }

never ever quit
