Growing up we hopped a bus here once, Vinnie and I, without telling our parents where we were going. They told us it wasn't safe here. But I haven't run into any problems yet. Just keep your head down and your eyes on the road ahead. No one's bothered me yet. Not sure what I'd do if they did. I don't want trouble.

I did get lost in Spanish Harlem for awhile. There are better places to get lost. But there are worst ones too. Stayed out of trouble and got some directions back to the park. Got a sermon out of it too. Sort of took me back between the ambience and the sentiment. Not sure I want to be taken back. Not looking to find the One True God in El Barrio that's for sure.

There's a line on an apartment now. I could get out of this flea bag motel and into a flea bag bachelor. Can't say it costs much less but it would mean less travel time. Don't know if I'll be able to cover the rent for long without getting creative. Been trying to be good. But good pays worth shit. Still I'd like to think I'm being a good example even if no one gets to see it. Maybe that's just sentimental folly.

WHO: Benedict and Plain
WHAT: Benedict seeks directions from Deacon Plain and gets introduced to a new religion as well.

I rolled into town early this morning. The sun was barely up. I watched some kids playing basketball on an urban blacktop until things opened.

I've checked into some flea bag motel. I forgot how fucking expensive everything is here. If I'm going to afford food I'm going to need to figure out a better solution than this. Something a little more permanent maybe. Guess I'll stick around for awhile. Had enough of the road.

It's weird being back so close to home. I remember coming over as a kid. Getting stuck in the tunnel in a traffic jam for hours. Mom would even pack a lunch for the ride.

It's been years and I'm still tempted to go back sometimes. Maybe that's why I ended up here. But what would be the point? There's nothing left for me there.
