Thursday April 14

Birdsong in the morning, it is springtime again

A cyclist approaches, pedal's up and down,

rattling over the street's cobbles.

Arrive at the bus stop, see that it is late. There is a bus already at the stop, it is just leaving.

Look at the time, it is half an hour later than usual.
What has happened? It must be the changing of the time at the beginning of the week, the body taking a few hours to recover.

Take the later bus, arrive at the railway station.

There is a group of six men standing around the waste bin in front of the station, they are all drinking and smoking. There are more up at the top of the stairs, the station is very busy today, it is very busy because of the time.

It is only half an hour later than usual.

The express train will leave at six twenty eight, there is time to get a mug of coffee in the station cafe. The people behind the counter are working hard to deal with all the wants, wishes and requests of the people waiting in

line. Shuffle forward, br wished a good morning, with a good morning in return .  Order the

large paper mug of fresh coffee, wait for a fewminutes, get a plastic lid and go to the  platform.

Sit down and wait.

Writing these notes on the train in the rosé

sunrise, let the express speed through Moosburg.
