the cousin's cat

The calm is holding, there is no agitation today

Read the news on the computer. see that the
cousins cat has died, old age and euthanasia.
After a cupu of coffee leave the house The car,
parked where it was left yesterday, small
and black, the front wheels on the white line
demarcating the" no parking" zone.
It was the last free spot last night, and now most of
the other cars have gone.

Decide to drive slowly and steadily today. Not
ever faster than ninety kilometres in the hour.
set the device on the car, it just cruises along
behind a truck. Listen to the radio, ignore the
rest of the traffic, but for the truck ahead. It
comes closer, then it goes away again.
This goes on for some time.All the while somebody is playing
Mendelsohn piano pieces on the radio.
Then a light to the rear of the truck blinks,
an indicator. It slows, comes closer, then it
leaves the motorway. Roll on at the same
speed think that this will save fuel. The time
wasted is a matter of-few minutes at the most.
And then upon arrival at the campus. park
the car underneath the bare tree at the back
entrance. It is light now, it is eight in the
morning
