Headlamp

Tue, 16th October
Blue bins in the alley today, in front of every house.
They contain paper refuse, all to be used for recycling
The door closes loudly, not quite a slam, but
noisy.
And there is only lamplight under a black
sky, there must be high cloud up there some ik
Today. On the main street there is a distant
glare from the headlamp of a bicycle. It is so
bright that the bicycle behind it is invisible.
Maybe it is one of those electrically assisted
bicycles, they go faster, they need better illumina­tion..
Dolores greets, a loud "good morning". Return
her greeting, then the other two men arrive.
Then the bus, pay the driver his money,
and take a seat in the rear patt of the
vehicle.
Then the smoker at the station, at the
pillar ashtray. Wish him a good morning
A long line in the early morning cafe,
there is only one person on service.
Descending the stairs to the tunnel, see that
the Mühldorf Train is just coming into the
station.
