STILL HOMELESS?
well it has been nine days that i have been living homeless, what an experience, first of all food was not that difficult to get, sleep is another thing, when night comes everybody everything enters the world of the homeless, i have had a helluva time finding places to sleep where i can close both eyes and sleep deep, i have slept everywhere, i thought bus benches would be the safest place but no, i found some deserted cars and slept under them but then i had to deal more with the stray dogs and cats coming under to join me, i overheard a womon talking about finding a homeless in her yard asleep one morning, and i thought to myself wow yes there is a womon sleeping in the yard at THE HOUSE why had i not thought of that one, i will give it some consideration. now i really do not find this homeless situation unpleasant, what i do find unpleasant is finding decent places to wash me bod without a lotta harassment from those who are paid to be authority figures and those who act as though they have authority and have not been paid, interestingly enough finding clean clothing was not hard either, i got so that i looked in a lot of different places for food, restaurants, cafeterias, dumpsters, gas stations, and almost any public places i.e. beaches, stadiums (on the out side and during dumping hours), food markets, public schools were the worst to find anything, because the authorities were always suspicious of anyone that they thought should be somewhere else, so it was not worth the aggravation. one place that i found to be a great place to hang out was near the police stations and the bus benches near the stations were the best to sleep on during the daylight hours, speaking of daylight hours i learned how to sleep more in the daytime since i felt safer to sleep then and to stay awake at night, i use to wonder why so many homeless roam at night,now i think know. i changed clothes alot cause i could find clothing very easy and i really did not want to stink. i learn how to take a total bath in a cup of water and a piece of paper was not bad really. i realize that i am beginning to miss a social life with wimmin, i have to really go out of the way to avoid a lot of contact with the men who are homeless they seem to be everywhere however i must say that there are so few of us wimmin homeless that i have run into i have watch the men to see how they get what they want as homeless and i have learned a few things. still amazes me to see how humans relate and react to each other in various situations. i saw one time this man and woman in their car come up to the red light and a homeless man walk up to their car stuck his hand with a cup in it out for some change, the driver let the window down the homeless man stuck his hand in the window to get the change, the driver grab his hand and started to drive off the homeless man was ruining aside the car and the driver got up to about 5 miles per hour, laughing like mad as the homeless man ran next to the car, he finally turned his hand loose and took off, now granted men are not number one on my list but this was just damn cruel, i got up from where i was sitting and walk up to the homeless man as he was rubbing his arm and asked him if he was OK, he said yes, i went back to my seat, he went back to the corner to wait for another car. would i ask for money? i gotta think about that one. i have not met one womon homeless out her with me. what is that about? is it easier to be kept than be homeless when you are a womon? is a kept women a homeless women? how long can i stay homeless? wonder if anyone really misses me i know i am beginning to miss everyone.
