Sudden Images

Friends.
Since I’m out on the road a lot, I see a lot of things.
I meet a lot of people.
It’s nice.
It’s strange as well sometimes.
It’s surprising too.
Funky.
Exciting.
Thrilling.

A really thin man. With worn jeans. A really cheap wig on his bold head.
Pallid eyes. Looking around him timidly.

A little rabbit wandering around amidst the garbage of people, at a abandoned train station.
At 00.30hrs.

2 drunk friends, cheery. 2 Spanish ladies, sober. 4 pair of eyes, screening. One musician and his guitar.
-5 C. Coldness all around. 00.35hrs. ‘Come on, play us some music, let’s dance! So we’ll become warm.’
Guitar out of case. Strumming. Sigh of breath. ‘La Bamba’. Turnover: E4,-

Somebody walked past me with a mouth full of chewing tobacco. I could see that since the sides
of his mouth were brown and glimmering.

-sudden Image #5-
A drunk man. Walking around on the train-platform. Asking everybody for a cigarette. I’m pretty damn sure
that in the end he had more cigarettes in his pack than anybody else on the platform.

Night workers.
Working on the rail-road.
Screaming along with cheesy songs on the radio.

-sudden Image #7-
A rusty cargo-train slips really calm and slow through the station.
Nobody noticing.

-sudden Image #8-
Somebody puking and crying at the same time.
While leaning on a church wall.

-sudden Image #9-
Someone I know visiting a gig.

-sudden Image #10-

Seeing a burning candle on the kitchen table.
After opening the door of the house.
