stratified homeless .. ? ..

it finally hit me this week ..
the houseless people i deal with are a particular ' class ' of the homeless
they are the creme de la creme sotospeak
.. . . .

i'm trying to stir that into my think
'cause i am surprised by it
surprised by my naivete
caught offguard ..
and it's unsettling for someone that thought they were helping the houseless

ha . .  .   .    .

.. . . . .      .

the other class of homeless, the constantly drugged, alcoholed, druggedandalcoholed ..
they live in the city
they live in the park and by the levy
they live to drug
they live to drink
they are the classic escapers
looking to forget their dread lives in the coocoo world of mindlessness
cocained
methed
whiskeyed

.. . . .. .      .

the ones that come up this side of town where we are situated are the ' upper class '
they are the more ' normal ' houseless
and they look to protect their own turf from the ' lower class ' houseless
to keep them away

homelessness has class issues too . .  ...

i need to go there
God loves them too
ya  ?
