Passing Strangers

It seems crazy to me that I find myself at the same place as the people here trying to just climb out from being on the darker streets.

As I also network for more employment like the grungy younger man leaning against a bike rack, interviewing on the phone with a cigarette, how do we converge at the same intersection?

My education is greater; I have achieved more professional and competance mastery; and, I have already weathered and overcome previous homelessness.

So why am I back here now? How again by the hands of others’ arbitrary decisions?

It is a wonder that I can even cling to any self acclaim, given the negative psychological impact of the trials I continue experiencing.
