A Tibetan mantra they asked me
Calling the Buddha
I see

Yesterday eve actually
In a theatre
Heard a Sanskrit techno-mantra
Played by a folk band
Of Austrian musicians
Singing in Kurdish

Not kidding
It’s all true
Ok I start from the beginning

It’s a presentation
They told me
We’re going to screen some video
Come on it’s Friday after all
Ok I thought
Never been to Hall im Tyrol

So off we went
With laptop external hardies and cables
They told me actually it’s also a birthday
A woman forty years old
Just like me in a month I thought
Will I throw a party too
Or am I too lazy
The place was well hidden
Behind warehouses
Was a theatre really nice
Guest list
Free bar
No asking
A Caipirinha as soon as I stepped in

A summer of love theme party
For her birthday
Not a presentation

Turned to my friends asked why didn’t you tell me
They took off their jackets
Hawaiian shirt him and optical dress her
So they knew
Doesn’t really matter does it
There were DJs and
Yes
Video screening

I sms-ed my friend Linda
Linda-In-London that is
Saying hey you’ll never guess where I am
A summer of love party close to Innsbruck
Improbable shirts and trousers
Printed flowers everywhere
And among the hippies
Sadomasochists Mafia guys and Schützen
Don’t really get it but anyway

She replied from Devon countryside
Enjoying autumn colours
Thought she was sick
Never expected from her

Just recovering she said

Meanwhile a tattooed biker and a whore
Joined the crowd
Bizarre summer of love indeed
Even a Roman emperor
Bit challenging I’d say

The video presentation was running
Not my friends’ another one
Tell you what
Lee Harvey Oswald
Undisputed Truth
Climate change
Old Danish sitcom Anke Billy fra New York

I’d also had
Russ Meyer
Magnum PI
Space 1999

They continued with
Old ice-skating
Military North Korean music band
Planet of the ape
A TV talk show

And finally my friends
Bruce Lee

Perfect visual mantra

At the ‘n’ Caipirinha
Saw a Vietnam veteran
At least the right time frame I thought

Was fun come on
On my way out
After bumping into a psychologist
And a physician
Very good at dancing unlike me

An old chap in leather
Was calling the Buddha
He turned his back
It had written
The Tyrol Experience.
