a few years ago i met a man who was homeless - living in his car
he would come into the store that i worked at and sit on the couch
the manager was chill she didn’t mind
he brought a johnny rockets breakfast combo inside
and gave his pomeranian the scrambled eggs
jewel’s –standing still– started playing on the store radio
and we talked about how she used to be homeless
her boss was sexually harassing her
she said no
he fired her
she had to live in her car while she played gigs
i wonder what her life was like that year
before she got a record deal
it bothers me that i can’t remember his name
and have branded him in my mind as .that homeless guy.
i think his name might be steve
i hope i am right
i hope he and his dog are still healthy
i think of him when i listen to -standing still-
