    About this ebook

    Not a lot of people know that I ran away from home at 16. And I never went back. Some days I don’t know how I’ve made it this far... and then I remember maybe I haven’t made it.
    It’s been a very long life, and I’ve lived through and done some rough things that I’d never wish on anyone. I’m lucky the people I hurt have been able to forgive me, and that through it all I’m not dead.
    This poetry and short story collection looks back on the time I spent living on the streets from town to town and place to place as well as my struggle to leave that life behind. It’s a time in my life I’ve never been able to express, but I finally think I can look back and share... and, hopefully, help someone else as much as others have helped me.
    But beware. It’s not all flowers and puppies. It’s a rather dark glimpse into a world that all of us secretly enjoy a little taste of, but none of us want to live there. I lived it, so you don’t have to. So have fun. It’s just a little glimpse into my galaxie... Don’t Panic.

      Watching The World Go By

      I think almost every house in Kansas had a porch swing. It was 1950 and no one had air conditioning, so we waited until the sun had gone down below the giant elm trees, and then people would wander out to their porches to sit in their porch swings an

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who

      I feel so trapped. My small light floods the entire room with brightness. There are no sounds except the humming of the dryer downstairs. I get up. I know it’s time for me to go. As I walk I feel my mind lighten. I take one last look in the mirror. I look different, not myself.

      I pick up my things. Though they are
