III. Soziale Ordnungen / Social orders - Heidelinde Lindorfer - Peter Waugh: Znojmo Express

A Czech checks Austrian-American-British-Irish passports Are we still in Austria ?

Satov!

over the border everything changes

a sudden enlargement of fields chipped facades

then the flash of girders that bridge the river

ZnoJmo!

The old old station

Dipped in pale light coming from four wooden whale fins

Upside down telephone beside the Czech-only informace

Little shopwindows display

Nugdtovd and vanilkovà chocolate

Teapot and cups in shimmering colors of the rainbow

Of a Barbie's dress

Of a huge meat fly

And everywhere unpronouncable words
