I Am the Homeless Piece

Brian Looney

    I want to be everywhere all at once. I want to be on forever, circulating through every vein. I want to be at rest in glassy pages, hummed and hawed about. I want to feel the currents, to have a home.

    They turned me away from the golden gates, eyeing my rags with distaste. I rang the bell with my dirty index, and they were shocked by my audacity. A tin voice finally answered; I don’t know whose it was. It thanked me for coming, then it told me to leave.

    I am the homeless piece: riding the railways, cinching my belt, blowing into harmonicas. A nip at the bottle, and I feel less lost. A drag at a smoke, and I’m at rest anywhere. My toes wiggle through my shoes. I was just looking for work.
