Feed it a plate of fatty cat food

lie in bed, listen to the bells.
Three bells, three quarters of some hour.
It is dark outside, it must be early.
Hear the sound of a jet aircraft pass high overhead, heading for Munich airport.
The first plane today, it is a quarter to five.

Lie and doze douze minutes
Pardon my French.
Then the Ipad tablet starts to make it's strumming wakeup call.
Silence it quickly before it gets louder and wakes the wife.

Get up, go to the bathroom, have a shower to wake up entirely.
Return, and put on the clothes, fresh socks and pants.

The cat is attentive, it has winter hunger, it is eating like mad, it is getting it's winter fat.
Feed it a plate of fatty cat food.


And pick up the bag and leave the house.
Up the road, past the police station.

Walk behind a young man in a hurry, he is walking with a hurried step. The lights of a car parked at the side of the road some distance away start to blink.
He gets in, and hear the motor start.

The blue car is parked as it was left yesterday
Get in, start the engine.
Early to work.
