If I were homeless I wouldn’t argue with my husband.
But I’d be alone and cold outside in the elements.
if I we’re homeless I wouldn’t have to pay a mortgage or rent.
But I’d have to move from place to place to skirt the authorities.
if I were homeless people would shun me.
But I’d have precious quiet time to meditate & pray.
if I we’re homeless I wouldn’t have a nice hot shower whenever.
But I wouldn’t care so much about fastidiousness.
if I were homeless I wouldn’t have a job and office.
But I would not be expected to excel & conform.
if I were homeless I would look unattractive.
But I would not be so codependent about mirrors.
if I were homeless no one could find me.
But I’d wonder why no one was looking.
if I were homeless I’d have no medical or dental care.
But I could avoid the arrogance of the healthcare system.
If I were homeless no one would tell me what to do.
But I’d have to entertain myself all the time.
if I were homeless everyone would give me advice.
But I could ignore them and live my life.
Life however, would be hard. It is hard and cold and lonely. I need to be aware of people who are unsheltered. People, not collateral damage.
