we hop off the U-bahn
to take a look at the Danube
or rather
the Donau
it turns out
that it’s right there
next to the platform
a few minutes later
while we take our photos
another train passes
a Japanese girl
asks me to take her photo
by the river, too
a few minutes later
heading across the bridge
towards town
we notice we’re really
crossing the river
this time
with big boats
and a church next to it
(the other one was just a diversion
with nothing but a few ducks)
and wonder if the other girl
will find out before it’s too late.
