Ho close R any of us calling the sidewalk our bed.

How close R any of us calling the sidewalk our bed.

What's behind the eyes of someone that smiles so Brite. Do they recognize their after glow as they have a head full of memories and thoughts that say they came from somewhere and that journey is better known than the one they haven't started yet. Does that make their life like a book with blank pages. If they choose a direction and a possible cause that doesn't mean in one second that can change. People with houses and jobs have a solid purpose each day going to and fro but a pointless drifter wastes a step the minute his foot touches down. As outsiders stare at these there one moment and gone the next hasbeens they look right through them but let them tell a story of adventure on the road they all of a sudden gather around then the next day their not seen once again.
