that seven days- i still think about the idea of someone sleeping outside in the cold- i get very nervous and sad- when it's cold and i am smoking in front of my home- then again i kinda smirk and smile- i know it could happen again- me outside after the library closes- sitting and waiting- wishing and hoping- i never thought that day would come- shopping at the dollar store- thinking i can make it- all i need is something- if it rains- if it rains- if it rains- well it did and it got dark- so i chickened out of the outdoors- i went in search of warmth- i found the only fresh grass in the whole parking lot- darkness is different in the forest- darkness is different in the city-

I slept in a tipi once...
that seven days- i still think about the idea of someone sleeping outside in the cold- i get very nervous and sad- when it's cold and i am smoking in front of my home- then again i kinda smirk and smile- i know it could happen again- me outside after the library closes- sitting and waiting- wishing and hoping- i never thought that day would come- shopping at the dollar store- thinking i can make it- all i need is something- if it rains- if it rains- if it rains- well it did and it got dark- so i chickened out of the outdoors- i went in search of warmth- i found the only fresh grass in the whole parking lot- darkness is different in the forest- darkness is different in the city-
the first of my reflections of being homeless...
