19 June 2017
The ritual again today, the alarm clock, the shower to cleanse and to waken, and the usual search for clothing in the wardrobe. It all works quite automatically, even after a break of four days. The cat is nowhere to be seen, but that does not matter.
Leave the house into the fresh air of the bright morning. A short while later there is a young woman approaching, she looking at her telephone! The telephone has been left on the small shiny cabinet in the hall. Return, there are still five minutes left, and place the small device into the top shirt pocket. Return to the alley, in a hurry now. Notice the worn lids to the drains, worn by the many feet walking over them, every day.Take care not to step upon the dark metal surfaces.
Lapse into a semi conscious anxious state just walking along, all these known shop fronts passing by, or rather, pass them by.
At the town gates see the Teachermann.He is wearing pale blue shorts, and he is going on and walking to work today. He passes the bus stop, and keeps on walking over the bridge. In the bus shelter there is dolores, just sitting there, tired, wearing striped leggings over red slippers.
Read about the atrocities in Mali and London during the short bus journey.-Lives lost because of spite and hatred, feelings of revenge, a desire for revenge. Idiot rage, no more. The man with the pigtail is at his place for smoking in front of the railway station. He has a patch upon his forehead today, a white hospital plaster.
The cafe has been redecorated, it is otherwise the same. The coffee is the same, it has the usual quality. The tables in the waiting room have been lowered, it is no longer possible to write standing. It is only really possible sitting down. Things have to change, but this is no change for the better. But it is not important. The platform number six is a blaze of sunlight now, low, and blinding. The Munich train is much shorter than usual, something has gone wrong again with the Deutsche BAHN. Things are bothtn normal, the agriculturally managed landscape is the same as ever, under a bright low hung sun
