Homelessness
by Paul Brinkley

She looks like a scuba diver really, with the tanness and the way she regards the sun personally and professionally. They should make a movie with a boat for her - I don't know why they don't.

Maybe she was born on an island. It seems more likely than Minnesota, but I did hear talk of one guy from New York who made it all the way to the coast.

Anyone can be anyone underwater, its like the costumes at sea world. Anyone can be Shamu, and anyone can feed the dolphins if you buy fish.

Buy yourself a suit coat and a plane ticket.

And a hat if it'll make you feel better.

When you arrive there'll be emptiness and hotel rooms, clicking on and off of window units and you'll forget to turn off the bathroom light and you'll send down for the complimentary razor blade. And the TV will be on - you can't escape the westerns there either.
