Freezing dawn

A forgotten song has started playing in empty hotel restaurant at freezing dawn. It is breakfast at corner table and outside the window a colorful horizon is waiting for sunrise. Outside, a group of smokers standing in black overcoats are warming themselves up with first smoke of the day and smiling small talks that usually happen between acquaintances at the start of a shared long journey. Yesterday's scenes of a U-Bahn leaving platform in great precision and acceleration are playing out in my mind. The way it would enter a tunnel and the way its windows would start reflecting the insides of the train... Within few minutes I would be at Hauptbahnhof and within few hours I could be anywhere in Europe.
