night of bad sheep and-lying awake in bed and-listen to the whistle noise. The hiss is a whistle today, listen, get up

Confront the puffed face in the 'mirror, unshaven. Like the face of someone who has been at a party all night. This is not fair, a party would have been nicer.

A shave, n shower a drink of water, things-improve. Pet the cat, the big fat cat is lively today.

Brush the hair, in the hall mirror the face looks better, shaved and so forth; forth into the early morning. Yellow plastic bags filled with rubbish line the exit to the house, they are to be collected later on in the day.

A car with a noisy exhaust speeds up the alley, the driver having decided to take an illegal short cut through the pedestrian area.

'And then another, in the opposite direction..

The usual three people at the bus stop, everything much the same. A man approaches Dolores, speaking Turkish. They both converse.

There are many people at the railway station dressed in workers clothes, some clothing soiled, some fresh and new.

Take a coffee, order a coffee, large and black. There is a lot of activity in the cafe, and the television is showing films about the Berlin atrocity.

The Train is on Time, moving slowly along the platform, to couple with the waiting vehicle. Then the doors open, are people got on board, the same as every day. Like a clockwork organism.

A man opposite in a white shirt and a grey jacket. sitting, sleeping, bald crown, grey jacket. Another in roofers clothing, heavy cord and mountain boats, fleece jacket.

People get up, ready to leave as the train approaches Freising....
