Tuesday 14th of July

select a roll from the selection available in the glass case. They all look good. Then-look

down into the wallet, it is a Wiener Schachtel type   wallet. All the coins are blurred, the glasses

are pushed up onto the forehead. So let the glasses fall down onto the nose, and then all is clear. It is clear for a short while only.

The exhalations from the nose, redirected by the face mask, fog up the glass. Now the bakery vanishes in a mist.

The woman behind her plexiglass sceen laughs. She says that she has the same problem.

Put all the change onto the table and let her reach out under the screen to pick the required coins herself.

All these changes, leave the cafe. 

Some distance on, remove the mask. 

Who cares

as long as social distancing is maintained

The air is fresh and bright, just as it should be on a sunny Sunday morning.

It is Tuesday.
