Finish, early, up early, earlier than the sound of the beeping mobile 'phone, cannot sleep. Yet again. shower and dry the hair. Out into the dark alley, pass the church.
Attempt to take a 'photo of the golden stones. They are let into the pavement between the cobbles to remind passers of the murders committed in the name of politics seventy years ago. Somebody has placed flowers on The pavement beside these markers.
Dolores is at the bus stop, her leopard-shin patterned headscarf on today, get onto 'the well filled bus, there is the young Rasta girl. with the worn out boots. Everywhere is crowded today, even the space in front of the station. There is the smoker in his yellow square, the man with the pigtail.
See pictures of wildly celebrating Americans on the television, and then pictures of sad faced Americans. Well, that is the way that it is with elections. Look out over thetracks and see the first part of the train to Munich move in, into the station between the platforms, all the length of the platform to its position at the end of the platform. It will wait there for the ten minutes that it will take for the second half of the train to enter the station, and to join forces for Their journey to Munich. As one train.
And now, the small train from Rosenheim comes in, with a non-electric diesel roar.. go to platform No 6. and wait for the second half of thetrain , the part from Passau.
Think about the changing times, the changing personnel.
A loose cannon in America is better than an American cannon pointing at you.
End.
