Illegible

The 11th of December

Awake, there the sound from the tablet, a

sound to awaken by. Go over to the desk, press

the'off' button displayed on the device's screen.

It is silenced.

go to the bathroom, not to take a shower

as one had been taken the evening before. The

cat comes into the bedroom, and is desirous of

attention. That is the way cats are, I suppose

cats are like that in general...

sit in the dimly lit room, the sleeping wife

and the cat on the knee there too, the cat settles

comfortably on the knees purring to herself

It would be nice to stay longer, but it will not

do. Gather the telephone and the wallet from the table,

put the cat onto the bed, carefully. Put on the

jacket, pick up the bag. And in the process of

all these things, forget to take the pill that the doctor

had ordered.

In the alley there are blue tins in front of

all the houses. This is the day that the paper

waste is collected, a private firm that recycles

the paper collects the bins. Take the bin by

the handle and wheel it out into the street,

leaving it at the side of the road, standing like

a soldier on guard in front of the house.

Like all the other blue bins.

It is cold today, and the cold freezes

it's way through the boots quickly. They

are thin soled fashionable boots, too hot

for the summer, and no good for the winter.

At the bus stop, say good morning to Dolores.

She comment's that she had missed the meeting yesterday

Sickness is proffered  as a cause, and

she accepts the reasoning. She says that

it is cold.

Agree.

Pay the bus driver, and leave the bus at

the station. Hurry across the dark station

forecourt, climb the granite stairs and turn

right, go to the cafe. Pay the money for

a large coffee, and take the paper cup to

the waiting room.

The fidgety man is

 there, and the morose

man too. All the comfortable metal stools

are occupied, take a wooden seat, and

sit there with the back turned to the man

who fidgets all the time.

And

at six, go out to the platform.

There have been charges of timetable,

there is a new airport express.

the Train is late, everything is normal
