Our streets.

22.1.15

Our streets are carved into geometric forms as if the well-known order would help us revive our long lost roots.

Our soft feet fitted into well designed, well styled plastic to help us slander quickly and without distraction over the grey, cool streets that safely mark the way as to make sure we won’t find any unknown paths.

Always afraid of the monsters that might hide in the unknown, but always craving the forbidden fruits that uncover our true natures that lay behind the tall brick walls of society.

The one who takes the first step signs a contract of lonesomeness.

The one who throws the first stone is hard to make out, he doesn't mean any harm, he just wants to save the seemingly lost one from the unknown dangers by throwing the properly ordered bricks of culture after him.

Secretly envying and feeling confronted by his bravery and self-awareness.

Applause! I like it. I feel the same way... Ever inching away from the brick order into the unknown. Thank you!

Thank you :-) really appreciate it! Living in austria (the european country) it's really nice to share my stuff with people who speak english, so thanks ;-), glad you liked it.

My family name is Austrian! Ive been wanting to go there and see where my family was from. I'm a huge history buff, so I can't wait to go there and just experience the places my ancestors may have stepped...

That's a fun coincidence, if you do come to Vienna I'd be happy to show you around.
It's a loong flight from Alabama, but if you got some time on your hands Vienna is the perfect starting point to go all around Europe (Italie, France, Netherlands, Czech Republic,...).
Prague is my favorite city and I've been to Venice, New York, Tokyo,... Prague is still my favorite, so if you come you should go there, check out where Kafka lived (you'll understand where the Metamorphosis came from ;-))...
If you're interested in art there is a major contemporary art festival in Venice every second year from Mai 9th- Nov. 22., I can't wait to see it this year!
Of course, if history is what you are looking for there is lot's to see everywhere.
Once you're in Europe it's not even that expensive to get around, with the euro-rail you just buy one ticket and hop on and off the train whenever and wherever you please.
Although I would recommend to rather stay at a few destinations for a while, instead of visiting 4 countries in 2 weeks, at the end you don't really get a feel for any of them.
So if you get a chance, do it!
It's a bummer that so few Americans get around to this side of the planet.

I will definitely keep you in mind! From this family book I have, it says they're from Palfau. My last name is Busenlehner, but it was Americanized when they immigrated to New York. It says the original spelling was Busenleckner. Ever heard of it? Haha. Probably not. I always think it would be really cool to go there and just by coincidence, run into some Busenleckner's.
I do agree that so few Americans get to travel. They are sheltered, with little m owl edge or ambition to learn anything about the rest of the world. I have yet to go to Europe, but I've been to Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Dubai, Canada, ans Japan while I was in the Navy. I didn't get more than a couple of days during each visit, but it's still an experience to remember. I will definitely make it to Europe someday, and thank you for the tips about the Eurorail! It's always good to have friends wherever I go.

This is a wonderful metaphor. It is so true, poetic, beautifully constructed. This is a nice piece.
