I couldn't find a dry spotto sleep at nightand my cardboard bedgot soaked, so I threw it away.Maybe if I'm luckyI'll find a dry doorwaywhere no one will bother me, but I've never been lucky.If it rains for forty daysand forty nightsI'll probably drown, but so will everyone else. -- Homeless III Gary Beck has spent most of his adult life as a theater director.
