“I saw you looking at me from across the street, I knew you were going to talk to me.”
You were right. Can you help me out with something?
“Can I help you? Can you help me? I need something to eat.”
Did the snow affect you?
“A whole lot. It’s cold. I sleep outside.”
Where do you sleep?
“On a bench, anywhere I can.”
Do you have anything else you want to say? Any advice?
“All the homeless people are out here. It’s cold. Just pray for them.”
