"We're just homeless people, trying to keep ourselves together," said the woman as I passed her this morning. "One of these days we're gonna live in a house again, just like you." I often see homeless people on my way to Georgetown Law, but this woman and the two others walking with her were sane, dressed for work, in a hurry. Just like me.
When I walk in the suburbs, I write about trees and flowers and reflections in the rain. When I walk in the city, I write about people, the down and out as well as the up and coming. Walk in the city for long and it will break your heart.
