Awake, there is shock, the alarm sounds during a dream that had no place for going to work.
Agape, clumsy, fumbly, fold back the tablet's cover, touch the button displayed on the screen.
Stagger into the hallway, all systems asleep, open the glass door to the hall the door to the bathroom, turn on the water of the shower, raise the lid on the lavatory.
And then have to go out again into the cold corridor to find a towel in the cabinet there.
The water has warmed, wash the hair the arms the armpits the legs even the feet. Fast.
Use the towel, dry, take up the toothbrush scrub the teeth.
Return to the bedroom, throw the night clothes onto the bed, take fresh underwear from the wardrobe, pat the cat that seeks attention now, get dressed up.
Cannot find the jacket
Where is it?
Not here not there.
And all the while a dense feeling in the head telling it's owner that he would be better off in bed.
all the while
eyes unfocusable
o
walk past the bakery, newstreet market.
doen the Bindergasse
and to the little black car.
and drive to work.
