KW 39/24

 ...and to your left..that sandstone building..you see...(sth of no importance anymore) I actually forgot, what I was about to say (and it doesn't matter)...der Tourguide räuspert sich betont. ein beiger Frosch entspringt seinem Hals. 

as another week came to an end, so came the world. (apocalyptic newscaster)
It ended out of the blue. Like a clicking pendulum or a heart suddenly stops beating.

Things/contracts/habits/manners/routines/facts... a lot of "commodities"considered eternal - ceased.
Is it just me gettin older craving less fluctuation and more stability or the sign o' the times that makes change und Beschleunigung a Dauerzustand? Kann die Zeit einen überrollen? Nicht jeder hat endlose Ressourcen, genug Öl, um seine diya nachzugießen.

Maybe it's because week-end, end of the month and end of the quarter coincide these days that everything seems to crumble before my eyes: engaged to..., separated from.., new/old/ second hand...fired/hired..captured/released...terminated phone numbers/new service provider, terminated or renewed contract with insurance company XY, landlords, warlords, employers, Need a change? MOVE/swap Location now. New owners, new logos, new umbrellas für den Außenbereich, Heizpilze....FAREWELL parties, Umzüge, Umzugswagen. Wohnungsbesichtigungen, Umzugskartons...folded neatly, stored in a wet basement until further notice. Inflation. Special offer: Get 50% of Ricotta Pesto from...aber nur solange der Vorrat reicht. But not just yet. From Tomorrow. Just come back. In the meantime enjoy your bitter coffee...and close your eyes..

Of course its naive to presume anything would last forever, still when you turn the tap on, you expect the water to flow. When you attach your phone to a power supply, you expect it to charge and after a good nights sleep and a decent breakfast, one is expected to have regained enough energy to face yet another day.
What camе before and what will come aftеr, Beneath the orderly queues, the bad moods, the nice views, The have-nots and have-toos, the night shifts in flat shoes...

I love the way you fade into a sky that is as endless - As your willingness to try. Keep going and it will get better! Alright, then...
and (that dark grey building)...you see over there...
