A New Adventure
There was the usual strain to get on the train at once. Shoulder to shoulder we pushed our way into the crowd. All the seats were taken with commuters, so I hung on to the bar and tried not to bump anyone as the train took off. My new shoes were already starting to hurt, but I needed to look my best for this interview.“I am confident,” I said to myself, as I tried to psych myself up. “I can do this.” I wished I’d brought my earphones, so I could listen to my affirmations, instead of the rush of the metro and chatty commuters.It had been so long since I’d held a job.

After I was able to bring my excitement down to a more manageable le...
I Like to Drive
That’s the thing with this city… if you don’t have a ‘place for your stuff’, if all you have is your body, you’re a nobody. With no place to stand, you have no standing. You ain’t got a castle, who are you? So, being homeless, unless you call my car a home, I wanted a place to lay my head besides my steering wheel. I drove into the camp to check things out. Little kids wandered like stray dogs. No one cared. I slammed my brakes and yelled a blue streak out my window when a pack of them ran into the road. Last thing I needed, to run some kid down. They all hightailed it but for this one pitifu...
