A truck
Dolores is in the bus shelter, still dressed in
her drab clothes despite the warmer weather. The bog
cotton man is dressed in light clothing today,
a bright pair of trousers in white, and a pale
jacket. Even though it is still dark, it is not cold. The street lights reflect in the black water of
the river ISAR, and the traffic on the main road is
heavy, with many big tracks on their way to
start the days deliveries.The bus arrives, board after letting the others go
first, and pay the driver his one Euro and
twenty cents. For the fare, for the five minutes
to the railway station.At the station, let a woman in a hurry
out first, and walk across the station forecourt,
past the bicycles, hundreds of them, and
the smoker with his rucksack. Wish the pigtailed smoker a good morning, the man is standing
at the ashtray. Maybe this is his first
clgarette of the day.In the cafe, there is the bald man with the beard, dealing with multiple customers
all at once. slip past the crowd, to the
end of the counter, and the end of the queue.Andrea of the dark rimmed glasses,
a short girl, well built, comes out at the kitchen, looks up, and asks "grosse
Kaffee?" she has a light accent, she is friend,
too. An accent from some Balkan country.. Tahe the coffee to the deserted waiting
room, and sip from the paper cupAt six, hear the squeal of the brakes and
the sudden exhalation of compressed air
as-the small Diesel train from Rosenheim
arrives..
