msb - I've read that before, but i'm glad you reposted it. Maybe
I should print some things out for rereading. I did enjoy seeing
this again. Thanks. And I like the insert a name here part. (g)

Here's another street poem. With one to follow written by
Stevie Nicks. I really like the one by her. Captures the essense
of the street and the gypsy life in contrast to those we meet
that live more steady (normal ?) lifes. And the sorrow and silence
that endings can bring. I will answer your earlier question as well. I did not mean to avoid, it is simply something I do not ordinarily express in words and find it difficult to do so. For now...
there are the gypsies and the street people. and there are the uncommitted and the wasted. They are not the same the thing.

tonight
there is no shelter
twenty miles an hour from the west
the storm is coming
destiny
blocks into miles
months into years
the street again
and the storm never ends
my coat is thinner
than it was before
the cold wind slivers cut deeper
the years inside have softened me
still the planet turns once more
the edge inside
waiting to strike
thought maybe this time
i'd gone inside for good
but here i am
three a.m.
walking into the wind
alone on the streets
the shadow dancers and me
