Escaping from their blue collar homes with tired cranky moms and dads. Until they all died in the fire, suffocating on the smells of the dirtiest industries, maybe hanging out in the alley ways, maybe moving out to Parma, maybe getting someone pregnant and getting married, getting a trucking job. Maybe getting a job at Big Lots, hoping to get tenure some day and benefits. But most likely not.<br /><br />Sometimes you write some truly amazing stuff, BC... you really do...<br /><br />...btw, I am like Jim...

When I travel to new cities, I like to take whatever trains they have, even if I have no reason to. Because the trains always run through the neighborhoods of broken dreams, and you can see the city from the back door. Not the shiny harlot face it paints for the world, but the one in the mirror, at 2 am, wondering what became of the dream of prosperity.Tom G.http://20prospect.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-40011920455455298602010-11-18T11:48:06.196-05:002010-11-18T11:48:06.196-05:00oh I LOVE dirt.oh I LOVE dirt.Bridget Callahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729980008876962813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-45270603825081111362010-11-18T11:37:02.553-05:002010-11-18T11:37:02.553-05:00There's so much beauty in dirt.There's so much beauty in dirt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-22870480927982896642010-11-18T10:00:45.832-05:002010-11-18T10:00:45.832-05:00J - thanks!

But most of the time, I try to touch nothing, so it will all be the same for the next person. Also, typewriters and I are not friends, I'm a 21st century girl.
