Drift king
I work hard at 17, stay late, arrive early, at 18. I still homeless three years now on may first, live in a motel room so small with six others I felt depressed try as I must I can not be content with this life, that is why I at the anniversary I leave, quit my job stop staring at that white wall and buy a one way ticket
This is how I became a drifter moving place to place town to town, l left them in the night, prepared a letter and some cash put it on the smuggled microwave and stept out into the humid Louisiana air
For the first night truly alone I could barely sleep
Walked to an airport and bored my flight
“Atenchen passengers the storm will cause some turbulence please buckle your seat belt and injoy some refreshments”
The caban was filled with clicks and I slipped on my earbuds
Before I knew it I fell asleep. Just as abrupt I was awaked by a yelp
A girl about my age got her hand stuck trying to steal my small bag of jerky
I laughed at her beat red face, it was Lily a girl I knew from my old neighborhood before we got evicted
Lily what are you doing here
I offered her some beef jerky and we talked, she was on a trip with her family
I get off the plane and see a crowd, wanderers I guess like myself not sure if I'll ever make it someplace good for the night but I'm going to try
I make my way to a nearby bar and grill, get a water and head to the alley so I can sit down and think.
Hello and hello again friend I'm no man Sam who are you
Who am I that is a question I wanted to change for a long time,iv wanted to reinvent myself
My name is Bailer
So why did you come here
To Paris I don't know I was in French II so I know a little about
Hold on I meant in this alley way only we the homeless live here
Oh I am, homeless but I also just got off the plane I have nothing and no one, came here to think about what I'll do next
So your a runaway, well Bailer if you want I belong to a group of homeless called “le fille” you can stay the night
I ended up staying a week got to know them all very well some I still keep meeting on my way
I take a bus to a town where I go on another bus,one that
I met a man just 2 years older than myself. He and I talked an though we traveled fields of tall grass and rainy mud filled pits, it was there Jeremy had sed
You ever heard of the canino de santiago
It was a sunny afternoon in some small motel for travelers
There Jeremy and I parted ways.
I overheard a group of people talking about the canino. I ended up joining them in a van we left.
I was suddenly reminded of my first job
That vigor and high dream of money had sad burnout
It was then I realized I'm here. I'm doing this, and for the first time in a long time, I felt my body truly relax.
Reason with my mind I had a challenge.
They say the canino can open your mind and let your soul be remade but for certain, you're going to find some answers.
