(Transit. Windjacke gegen den zumindest vorübergehenden Herbst. Quer über die Plätze, zwischen den Buden hindurch, an denen Touristen Zuckergebäck und Aperol kaufen. Durch die Gassen, in denen das Personal der Restaurants bei einer Zigarette seine Mittagspause verbringt. Vorbei an den neuen Stadtbauten, den mondänen Glasfassaden, vor denen ein vollgepackter Einkaufswagen neben einem verdreckten Schlafsack steht. In der eigenen Straße schimpft ein alter Mann auf eine Gruppe Teenager ein, die ihn geflissentlich ignorieren. Er kämpft umständlich mit seinem Gürtel, sucht irgendetwas in den Taschen der Weste, schiebt seinen Rollator weiter. Stadtbild seit fast zwei Jahrzehnten, fast genau so lang augenscheinlich allein, fast genau so lang kratzig und alt. Es weht kalt vom Park her durch die Straße. Die Stadt hat ihre Kontraste, nur manchmal sieht man sie besser.)

Got the urge? A lesser known Joni song:

Joni Mitchell - Urge For Going

URGE FOR GOING
I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
And all trees are shivering in a naked row
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown

Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
I had me a man in summertime
He had summer-colored skin
And not another girl in town
My darling's heart could win
But when the leaves fell on the ground
And bully winds came around pushed them face down in the snow
He got the urge for going and I had to let him go
He got the urge for going
When the meadow grass was turning brown

And summertime was falling down and winter was closing in
Now the warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout
And all that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow
They've got the urge for going and they've got the wings so they can go
They get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown

Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

I'll ply the fire with kindling and pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and I'll bolt my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime and have her stay for just another month or so
But she's got the urge for going so I guess she'll have to go
She get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And all her empires are falling down
And winter's closing in
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down
