good morning to Dolores, at the bus stop, this
dark morning.. She raises her face, hair
straggling on either side, widens her mouth in
a smile and returns the greeting. Stand and
wait at the corner of the bus shelter, watch the
traffic pass on the main road. This is still
the main road between Regensburg and
Rosenheim. In some years soon, there will
be a bypass around Landshut, a huge
bifurcated ed road allowing higher speeds and
greater traffic densities.
The bog cotton man arrives, walking slowly
He raises his head in a cheerful 'good morning,
He has had his hair cut short, it is now
white stubble on his head.
An empty animal transport truck
passes, "the two or three tiers of pens
all brightly illuminated. After it has
passed there is a strong smell of animal
dung, the pens have not been hosed down, they are still dirty.
The bus arrives, pay the driver.
There is no smoker at the railway station
today. The service person behind the
counter in the cafe today is slow and
confused. And the waiting room is noisy
'
