novapsycheI am alarmed.
There is a rise in the homeless in Ann Arbor.
I know it because I see men pushing around grocery carts around my neighborhood.
I've driven down a side street and seen a grocery cart parked like a car.
This is not right.
I have lived here for nearly four years. I've never seen this.
I've seen men holding signs in front of exit ramps between Ann Arbor and Ypsi: "Homeless. I'm hungry. Help me please."
I knew I was losing some of my humanity when I was driving to work and I almost didn't notice one. I just caught him on the outside of my peripheral vision.
This is not right.
On my walk tonight, I passed a man pushing his belongings. We passed greetings. He called me, "How are you? Sister Sister!" In his wake, the smell of roses.
This is not right.
