blue



The cat, rubs it's head, arches it's back, wants to be stroked. Ignore it , go to the bathroom, run the shower. And then, put the clothes together, a fresh shirt today. The pill, taken, small blue and white. For the upset stomach. Two more weeks of those, then that will be over. The street is dry, just walk down to the bus stop, disregarding all those well-known features on the way. The light from the hotel breakfast room is glistening on the water. The water, still racing past. The flood gates downriver must still be open. the water from the mountains flowing on past, to the Danube, then the Black Sea. Eventually. On board the bus the two policemen, right and left, utterly clean cut, tweedledum and tweedledee. Both in blue
At the cafe, the bald man
with the beard is friendly today, almost effusive. He says good morning. The discount card will he full tomorrow, tomorrow friday.
Find a seat in the train, a policeman on his way to work sits down opposite..
. There is no wish to describe the these surroundings, the policeman. uniform tan, reading his newspaper, the-young woman beside him looking at her electronic pad, then checking her papers. The light outside is a predawn blue, blueish clouds, yellow car headlamps, yellow lamplight in all the blue houses' windows, all blue on account of the light

it is before the start of the day Green fluorescent in the train, Thursday, now on the way to friday
