Who indeed? A startling, troubling, moving look at homelessness in the twenty-first century.

Are crutchlings always homeless?

Have you heard horus8's solo acoustic version of The Crutchling?

'Twas in response to the aforesaid recording that I posted a suggestion (since deleted) that all the money collected via the "Alms" section should be spent on singing lessons for Mr Handrinos. Alas, my wise policy was not implemented.

I fear singing lessons would only make me sound as if I spend a lot of time worrying about the way I sound? And of course now I'll be losing sleep over your interpretation of my interpretation, although, I notice you don't have one. Which goes to say, I at least, do.

Great title. You forgot the question mark. I thoroughly agree with your assesment. I'm constantly being transferred between the pysch. ward and cardiology. Why so brief, these poems of yours?

since i cannot seem to find truth or honesty anywhere, can you tell me if I am in the right place?

awesome title. Toss a questionmark into the text and call it done.

I like.
