Two security guards


Two seanrity gourds in black uniforms stand by a black shiny van pakted diagonally into the junction
of the market and theater street. They have the stance of men looking for trouble. Pass by, on the way to the bus stop, there are several sleepy-looking people to be seen on the way there.

See a man down by the river, also dressed in black. He is hopping about, he seems in difficulties, or maybe he is indulging in some religious performance. No Idea.

At the bus stop say good morning' to the bog cotton man

See the man down by the river, man in black. He is standing there with his trousers down over his backside, trying to clean himself with a niece of waste paper. The man had to go for a shit in the park. It is strange, he is not far from a public lavatory. Look away, wait for the bus.

The driver is unhappy today, he has to change a twenty Euro note to pay for the fare. This day is not simple.
 At the cafe pay for the coffee with the card with the ten stamps in it. The accrued savings of ten days equal one free cup of coffee. That is pleasant.

Later, up on the platform in the first direct light from the sun, take stock of the progress of the building works on platform seven and platform eight. New stairwells are being built, and there is much machinery there to facilitate the work. It may well be another month before they are finished though.
The train to Munich is standing at the end of the platform, waiting. Look into the sunrise, and see the second part of the train approach, the part that comes from Dwgolfing and Passau. Wait untill it arrives, opens it' s door to let the passeng­ers for Landshut out, and get in. There are many seats free, the holiday season has started.
