living a half-mile

insists he lives on the edge.

A response to Impeccable Space Poetess' "This is a subultural song".
Being a musician and a poet most of my life, I have held many minimal-wage jobs to pay the bills. Have lived on the scraps of American life for years, and lived in what most Americans would consider genteel poverty. Rarely have missed a meal, and thanks to the kindness of friends and strangers, have never lived on the streets. ISP reminded me in her poem of just how much I am grateful.
