To fly away for the weekend

Friday, January 18 2019
It is Friday, says the man with the beard in the
cafe in the railway station.
He smiles. He has started early today as well.
Fiddle with the change in the wallet, at last
to find the correct money to pay for the cardboard
cup full of coffee. It 'n yellow, with blue type on
it. Take the coffee to the little side table, that is where
the plastic lids for the paper cups are kept.
Then go back and find a seat in the waiting
room. Five minutes to start these notes. Say
good morning to the morose-looking man
with the black hair.
Five minutes later, pack away the black notebook
and the pen and go to the platforms. It has
suddenly got colder outside. this is probably
an illusion due to the warmth in the station..
Up on the platform, it has started to snow.
There are single white flakes falling from
the black sky, drifting down slowly. It is very
light snow. Put up the load to guard against
the cold draught blowing along the platform.
The sound of the train is a whine, it is a
very modern train. And it is full, There are
many passengers who are going to Munich
airport, to fly away for the weekend.
