You write about the bag man I think out of sympothy, and perhaps your love and concern of all mankind, because you have room for them in your heart, because you are a kind and gental soul.

Did you know that of "The Top Ten Things You Need To Survive On The Streets" that plastic trash bags happens to be #2.
"Plastic garbage bags are essential to life on the streets. They will be raincoats in winter, and protection from the sun in summer. You can use them to protect your matting from the wet ground. A tip for getting free bags: janitors in large buildings often keep spare bags under the garbage can for easy replacement when emptying. If you make sure you take just one or two per garbage can no one will notice and you will have a constant supply on hand. You will probably also want to keep a few smaller bags on hand just in case you have a need for them."

You recollected it so well because it made an impression on you, especially the fact of his statement about being free and doing as he pleased. Well you're building yourself a better, healthier freedom but that still impressed you with the fact you were more free in not choosing his non-contributing lifestyle.

I remember when I was younger there was a man everyone referred to as Nike as he always wore Nike shoes, if you got close to him he was very stinky and one day when I was working at JC Penney he wanted to buy some socks, at the time I was pregnant and I could hardly stand to be around him, funny thing is he was known to be very rich and seen in a limo. But he just roamed the streets.

Well one man's meat is another man's poison, if he has been around that long, I expect one or two put a few things out for him, next time you see him ask if he wears a vest.

a free life style, some people have always chosen it and actually they
ask nor want anything from society. i would hate to wear plastic though, it doesn't breath and is very uncomfortable but I suppose one can have a new siut regularly. I wonder if he is a poet.
