Cold

I forgot about the cold. The winter's cold. First time I moved away from Berlin I went to south of France for a very short time and then to Barcelona for 3 years. The only connection I had with the cold was the winter sports and it's always fun to ski hoping that half way we'll stop for strong coffee or glühwein. But the cold in the city is something else. It interferes with your everyday's life. Your whole body reacts when the alarm clock rings and you have to stand up from a warm bed. It takes you on the feet when you put them on the floor and you forgot your sleepers in the bathroom. It stays with you until you go for your shower and then you think that it will be cold again once you will stop the water. And then the biggest cold of the day : the way out. Once you close the door of the flat it slowly comes to you the nearest you are from the exit of the building. And then you open the street door it's still dark because you start early and with the flow of the trains planes and the flashing lights of the automobiles you know the traffic light won't be green for you and you will have to make your way through the day.
