Weltraum

von: Ian McCartney Filed under: Blog | TB | 5 Comments

You’re already in space
 
 
 

 
 
 
Beneath the grass and a stone that bears your name
 
 
 

 
 
 
Trabants still in orbit
 
 
 

 
 
 
And Budapest is a city I can’t get the hang of. Up, down, átváltozás, turn around. Please don’t let me hit the ground. Oh, if you could fall for a city. Staying in the same place, just staying out the time. Touching from a distance. Further all the time. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the electromagnetic radiation left over from the big bang. (It
 
 
 

 
 
 
was only a theory.) You’re already in Space

    And apart from this, what’s the most magic spot in Budapest?
    And the best coffeehouse? Friends want to know, they are there – tomorrow!

    Most magic spot? Probably somewhere in Buda not far from the river.

    When I stayed there a few years ago I was intrigued by some street dancers. I could watch them from the balcony of the appartement I hired. It was a hot summer and at dusk I biked through the city, didn´t understand a word and enjoyed it. One evening I spottet a skeleton in an empty shop window. maybe the rest of a display dummy. I watched crazy films and bought a funny notebook for girls at an one euro shop.

    Fantastic! It’s a very musical place. Mystical. It’s in the air. And the country is so far inland, the air is dryer, almost perfumed.

    Yep, the town and the country are magic. First time I was there in 1995, in autumn with a group of people I didn´t chose and neither enjoyed spending time with them. One day a young woman adressed me in the street and asked for the way to the embassy. She thought I was Hungarian. She spoke German quite well and she came nearly exactly from the village my mother was born. Those times we both were enthusiastic about Thomas Bernhard´s novels. We talked about it sitting on a hill admidst the city. Whenever I had spare there time I met her. One day we visited the museum of the blind persons. Maybe it still exists. I would recommend a visit there. It changes your perception. Never read Thomas Bernhard since then.
