a bag full of litter has ben left by the last user.
Wed twentieth septembersound sleep, wake to the sound of that clock. Five in
the morning, take a shower brush the teeth and comb the hair.
Today is yellow bag day there are the heaps of
one hundred litre yellow bags in front of all of the houses. Walk. Down church lane, pass the big
church, cross old town street, down to the Theater
street. A rumble from the right, a car oarefully crosses the cobbled street after waiting to let pedestrians pass. The illuminated gate left
behind, arrive at the bus stop. Good Morning,
Dolores, good morning, white haired bog
cotton plant like man. And now a grey
haired business man type of person is there
as well. Finally, the teacher arrives.
Let them all board, pay the bus driver,
and sit down at the back at the bus.
Read the news, Mexico-Earthquake, Trump,
madman, violent, threatening twenty four
million people with murder, and the dreary
list goes on and on.
Inside the yellow marking in front of the station
building, a square four by four metres, stands
the smoker with the pigtail. He must be back
from his holidays. He is smiling, and wishing Good Morning.
In the cafe, order a large coffee from the young
woman of Indian appearance.she and the bald-headed man are busy today
there are more people around than usual.
The small table has scraps on its
surface, left overs from the last user. A yellow corn seed, and bright red piece of
chili, in a red sauce. They are tiny pieces,
take care to avoid them. The black notebook on
the table, start to write these notes, remember having
woken up. "sound sleep, wake to the
sound of that clock'-keep on writing until it is time to go, until
it is six, the Rosenheim train in, and the
young woman at the next table has finished her satanic salami sandwich and left.Pack away the book and the pen, take the
paper cup of coffee, and leave the station
building. go down the granite stairs. The
passageway under the tracks, white tiles,
advertising notices for cigarettes and
health clinics,spas, services and a timetable.go slow up the long granite stair to
platform six, let others pass. The Train
is just coming in, no need to hurry.
As soon as the train has stopped, the
nearest door opens, and a man bursts
out, running regardless. A man in a hurry.
On the small table in the carriage, a bag
full of litter has ben left by the last user.
