They wear funny shoes
 
They smell bad

They drink too much
 
and I think some of them are on drugs

They talk to themselves

They hear voices in their heads

They yell profanities at no one in particular

They ride bikes

They carry all their possessions in big bags

They’re always hanging out on the sidewalk

They’ve been known to urinate behind dumpsters

They line up for free food

They’re allover downtown

They make friends with seagulls and crows

They work all day for a pocket full of change and spend it on beer


I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation. Are you talking about homeless people?

Oh, no. We're talking about bike messengers.

Are we talking about bumbs?? I see bumbs all over the place...riding their bikes, sitting around, consuming beverages. I think these people have homes?

"They all have chips on their shoulders" I actually heard this in the 9r while in an elevator with lorraine. I wonder if he meant in their shoulders. He was talking as if lorraine and i weren't directly behind him....
