Exploring the lands
Around U1’s extension line
To the south-east of Vienna
Planned for this Saturday
But plagued by drizzle
From a continual change
Of dark and light cloud
At times some pale sunshine
For a short while.
Quickly into a nearby patisserie
To sit out a sudden downpour
With excellent tarte de framboise
And two cups of Italian espresso.
Then recovered from the cold
Walk towards the new building
Site with a complex of blocks
Designed for modern socially
Supported living
Along the Oberlaa Park and Spa
Area.
Will have to contact the developer
To have a chance of moving into
One of these well-designed units
Light and friendly colours
At the first block.
With cold wind creeping below
Our coats
Back again to the U3 station
Oberlaa
Remembering Albie Sachs
Victim of a terror attack in
Mozambique
Back in the late seventies.
His loss of one arm was traumatic
Kreisky invited him to the Spa in
Oberlaa
He told me at a luncheon.
Now it’s up to us and the Gods
The friendly spirits
And the caring Muses
To ask for their support and
Help
To assist with our quest
In moving forward.
FORWARD.DRAWROF
