Everybody always ask what you do? I say, what you mean, what I do? I live. That's what I do. My job is not who I am. I've had many jobs. I say. If that's so, then I be many things. They say not so, your work, your passion, what is it? I say and laugh, riiiiiight....I do what I can, when I can, you know? Today it's bein a janitor. Yesteryear it was, a cook, tomorrow, who knows, Lord knows, I say, not important to me. I just live. Then they look at me sideways, not knowin what to think. You see they on the other side of the tracks. And i'm on this side. I live day by day, year by year, and it all works out. They stare. I think they from Mars, they think, i'm lost......but I know.
I gave up worry long time ago. It wasn't worth it. Always thinkin, always wrinkled up my brow, got me ulcers young. And so here I am 85 and still truckin! They be 60 and dead.......I smile, walk on........
