inside would be unable to see her as well
[The Man Who Lived Under The Bridge]
I woke up in the park. The bench was hard. My back hurt. It was a knife in my back. I was stabbed once. He wanted to take my money. I never have much money. I don't have a wallet. I sleep under the bridge. There is a river there. I drink from the river each morning. I don't bathe because the water is too cold. There is no way to dry off. I like the park better. They never let me sleep in the park before. They would come by and make me leave. Once they put me in their car. They took me to the jail. I was there over night. The beds in the jail are better than tbench.
I woke up in the park. The water was still on the ground. There weren't any people around. They were inside the buildings. Most of them had places where they lived. I used to be jelouse of them. Now I don't mind. They have whats theres and I have whats mine. There's isn't any better than mine. It is just different. I have a thick brown coat with lots of pockets. I got it from the church on 9th. It was free. It's a better coat than any coat I've seen. I keep my handkerchief in one pocket. I keep my watch in another. I keep my cigarettes in another pocket when I have any. I keep empty liqour bottles in other pockets. I prefer when they aren't empty. They are empty most of the time.
The park was very quiet. I wanted to stay there. No one was going to make me leave. They were too busy. I think. I had not heard a siren yet. It was strange. The city was so quiet. It was like a church. I used to go into the church sometimes. After they passed out clothing and food. I wanted to go inside and say thanks. I would kneel in the front pew. I'd go as close to the front as I could get. They don't let you step up on the carpet. But I could go to the front pew. I would kneel down. I would bow my head. I'd say a few words. I never knew what to say. I'd say [italics] Thank you for the food and the clothes [italics]. That made me feel better.
I would have stayed in the park all day. Then my stomach hurt. I was hungry. I don't eat much. I'm very skinny. If I took off my brown coat with the pockets and my gray sweatshirt and my thin buttoned shirt, you would see my ribs through my t-shirt. I don't ever take off my coat or sweatshirt or thin buttoned shirt. If I took them off, someone else might take them. It is hard to keep all of my things together. It has gotten better since I got my brown coat with the pockets. I can keep almost everything in my pockets. I still have to carry around a small plastic bag. It has a few extra things in it. I had a candy bar in a wrapper in my plastic bag. I found it in the trash outside of a pharmacy. It was half eaten. There was some dirt on it.
