There's a new sport I'm getting used to,, it's called dumpster diving. It ain't really that bad and it goes something like this.
I walk up to a large trash dumpster and lift the lids. I look around and when no one is looking, I jump in. Inside is a whole new world of life and things just are never what they appear to be. I find some things that I can use later for shelter, including umbrellas, blankets and even one old mattress.
All the while, I'm in my street clothes, ones that don't matter if they get dirty or not. Anyway, it ain't bad until you run into others who take the sport more professionally than me. Those folks are out to hurt you if you get into their dumpster.
Today, I got lucky,, no one around to be too harsh on me and with the sun shining, it ain't all that bad. I try and check the dumpsters near the restaurants first, then the higher class dumpsters.
Ain't life grand when you come this far. Remember, the "bum" you see dumpster diving today, may be your neighbor of yesterday. Just something to think about. Peace.
