Ironically uncanny ... Im surprised I didn't remember this the first time I was homeless. Because it was October 30,31 the first day I was homeless on Oklahoma City.
When I was a kid the first Halloween costume I remember doing, I don't know how old I was, but I was a Hobo. Thats what they called homeless bums back then. I had the pole with the stuffed handkerchief tied on the end of it and everything. My aunt helped make up my face all dirtied and bearded and I think I stuffed my overalls to look fat. I don't know if anyone would recall this. It was for a Halloween dance at the Brown Mansion. I only went that one year. It was before I started dancing, before junior high (for those who remember that) so I just stood around by the wall.
Its hard to ignore the irony of it. As if it set something in motion for my future ...
