kiss

Thursday, 7th of February.

The line at the cafe is in chaos, do not know where to stand-The people at the front are just standing around, the people at the far end of the cafe are all waiting to buy cigarettes.

But then all the people at the front move away, all equipped with sandwiches and drinks, and

the dark-haired woman behind the counter looks up and asks "Ja, bitte?" The order for the coffee placed, the card stamped, the money paid, stand and wait. Other people shuffle about, there in Norbert Hedgehog, smile, say good morning.

A lid for the coffee, then go out to the platform. There is a train on the tracks that is not usually there, a train that only goes part of the way to Munich according

to the destination boards. It must be a late train. Wait for the small airport train to arrive. There is a young couple with identical suitcases on wheels. They park their suitcases neatly beside each other, then he puts his arm around her shoulders, then she looks m at him, closes her eyes and they kiss. They are happy

to be travelling together, their suit cases both have identical orange flight tags on them.

That picture is gone now, the train is in, let the people out, board, let the day begin.
