Ten minutes

.

Mon, November 12

look at the glowing figures of the watch with

dark, there are tenements left, ten minutes

with five.

Just before five the morning, get up and

walk over to the small writing table. Turn on the deskside light, and watt for thirty seconds.

At five exactly, as the church bells sounds 

outside, the tablet lights up, and the melody

starts.Stop written on the glowing screen.Reach down and put the finger on it.

The sound stops.

Go to the bathroom and take a shower,

and return, find clean underpants and socks

and a vest in the wardrobe, and put on

all the rest of the clothes.

gather up the glasses, the watch and the mobile phone from the table. Take the jacket from the hook  in the hall, and put it on. Then the

overcoat, the light one. It is an unusually

hot and dry autumn

'In the alley, a man takes his bicycle and

carries it over the stair of his entrance.

Every entrance has a stair on that side of

the street • The man goes back, locks the

door, returns to his bicycle.

Pass, ignore him, walk across the

grey cobble stones down to

the river, past the stones  comemorating the

victims of injustice in the past. 'those

stones are brass, with inscriptions.

The bus stop, and the attendant shelter.

Dolores sits down in the shelter, a wide

and friendly smile Today. The bog cotton

man, with his gruff greeting.

Later, after the short bus ride, wish the

smoker at the station his good morning. He

has just arrived, he is just taking out his

cigarette.

In the cafe there is a man with an

unlit cigarette in his mouth, a hand

rolled one, the unlit tip is a twist of paper.

97 ekh as the style of cigarettes containing

. hush, or pot. Just smaller. He orders

u coffee with milk.

Take the black coffee to the small table

with the comfortable stool in the corner

of the waiting room.
