Fumble unable and swipe

awake out of a deep sleep, the clamour from the mobile phone effective.
Fumble unable and swipe, then the noise
Is off.



There is no need for a shower today, last night was enough.
Brush the teeth.







gather the items needed for the day at work, this notebook, and leave the house..

The wife is awake today, that was the fault of the long drawn out
noise of the alarm clock
Dry day, a working Tuesday. The streets are deserted, they are completely empty of all people. The August holiday
season has hit.

But Dolores is back, looking sad, but:. Good morning

. She is back from holidays, and-though The day is not cold, she is dressed in a cape and head scarf
The smoker in his square at the station is wearing a
straw hat. Does this mean that it will be a warm day.
Inside the station the African men are shouting at each other, they have very loud voices, and both are clutching a bottle of beer each. They are young men, both angry.



Watch the silent television,
Donald Trump has made the news once more.
The sound is off, but going by the pictures he has once again commenced spouting some racial opinions in connection with a situation over which he' is ill informed. He is a colourful man., oh, a mad man.
Time for the train. On the way, see that the two men from Africa are now talking to two policemen, in broken French English and German. And they seem to be Ghanese. But there is no certitude

They were both very loud indeed, talking a language not understood by anybody, not in the station.

The train is full of loudly talking office workers, exchanging inane jokes.
Find another carriage, an empty one, a quiet one.
One that is not full of cruel laughter and self important conversationalists.
Just people who want to go to work, who need to get to work.
And are quitely trying to catch up on their too-short sleep.
