From the bosom of the Transylvanian Alps
A strange accident occurred some years ago.
An Irish man fell in love with a Gypsy woman for a night.
And not with a whimper nor a bang
A boy was sent down from the heavens to them to see if he can find
His way back up.
Dropped in a human petri dish flavored with the crafty twang of a violin
Smoky accordions
and more than a few shots of Tuica
This boy was born in a world of tricksters,
Mental gymnasts and a people without borders.
An Eastern outlaw academy during the days of
Communism
The boy grew, then flew to the West where at some point became
The man writing this.
