Magic Carpet Ride

Memories of Adana

You is Good People 🌹

I Once met a man who needed someone to choose his virtual clothes

A textile factory he had with a wife named 🌹 It seemed like a dream one New Year’s Day

On Windows XP we did play

He showed me his factory with yards & yards of fiber. He said it’s for under the carpet as my eyes got wider! I couldn’t believe how he could work all alone, with enough fabric to carpet many homes. He lived in Adana so far away, like Santa he worked night & day. Gul knew about me as he admired her a lot, she said that he smokes three packs a day, maybe she can help him stop.

I dreamed a dream that showed a different side, in his factory a air balloon he did hide

Weaving the fabric to pave the sky

He was able to make roads for a magic carpet ride . We flew so high in the big big balloon, Sweeping the carpet with fire, dancing on the Moon 🌙!

Sadly, one day I was watching Turkish tv,

There stood my friend on the evening News

Looking quite upset it gave me the blues

Surrounded by his friends I could see their thoughts, his factory burned down , the carpet ride had stopped. Though my egg shaped camera, I have no more, I will always remember my old friend and his textile store..
