Belief

13th July, 2018

The cat is attentive today, perhaps she is hungry. But she will have to wait, there are clothes to be got on, teeth to be brushed, all the barhroom things first thing in the morning. She jumps into a chair, and holds her head out for stroking when all the clothes are on, she gets her ptatefull of gelatinous food from the tin. The tin is cold, it having spent the night in the refrigerataor.
later, at the bus stop wish Dolores a good morning, she is cheerful today. Say good morning to the man with the bog cotton hair. The news on the phone is uninteresting, the American moron has been ranting about well oiled machinery again and is off to do ohesiunce to his opponent. so put away the telephone and, when the he has arrived, give the driver at the vehicle his fare and take a seat at the back of the bus.
When the bus has arrived at the station, press the button to signal to the driver to open the back door. get out and walk on to the station building, climb up its granite steps, go thorough the hallway to the cafe.
Service is by a young woman today, she seems good at the job-The cup is full today too, there is even a pleasant 'have a nice day' afterwards. In German..
Take a seat in
the waiting room, and start to write these notes, before the details of the morning fade into the mush of every­day life and are forgotten.. At six in the morning, get up and go out to the railway tracks, using the underpass to get to platform number six. In the underpass there are a group of evangelists selling their religious pamphlets for no money. They are attempting to socialize, it is just their belief. An idea that way he followed. Or it may not. after climbirg the granite stairs to the platform, look over the
tracks at the goods trains, look over at the progress of the building works at the next platform. They are putting in a new stairwell, a complex business *
The train comes into the station, stand back to let the arriving passengers out, and be the last to board, just getting in through the closing doors on time. The safety mechanism opens the doors again, sending them sliding back to remain open for the duration.
