black smart , difficult start

the streets and alleys of Landshut are dark, and the approaching winter lets them feel cold. There is the little black car, press the button on the key, let it light up. Put the bag on the passenger seat, the key in the starter. Turn the lights on, then try to start the car.
It doesn't.
A failure.
Withdraw the key from the lock.
Turn off the lights again.

An impatient driver to the rear wants to take the space. He leaves his headlights on. Everything is dazzling and the car will not start.

Relax. Force that.
Turn the key
The car will not start.
The radio blares.
Turn it off.
The car to the rear switches the headlights off.

Turn the key,
The car starts.
Reverse.
The waiting car turns its headlights on.
First gear, then automatic, and then leave the space behing, see the car with the bright headlamps in the rear view mirror swoop into that empty space.
So somebody is happy.

Later, drive along by the river, a full moon to the right and a pre-sunrise dawn to the left.
