It's been a few years since I've stopped somewhere long enough, to consider it, and take up residence. You may think that it's lonely, or perhaps adventureous to live this way; following wherever the road takes me.
It isn't, really. Adventuresome. Excitement wasn't what drove me to this wanderin'. If I wanted excitement, I would have stayed in the place of my birth. It's safer on the road. No sober person turns against you, challenges you, if it's clear your just passin' thru.
My kind is not reflected on well, not in this world. Suspicion has leached it's way into the soul of society; suspicion against any free thinkin' individual who is not "normal"; not "human".
So, now you ask of lonliness. Why should you care? You have your home to return to, your family & friends to distract you...your a "respectable" person. No one out there to accuse you of bein' of "diminished character"...void of the idea of in-compassion. Should you even possess a fraction of these qualties, no one would hold it against you. You are as they.
Forgive me...These times bring bitterness. I shouldn't speak so, when I don't know you. No...no thanks, I'll pay for my own drink. To the bartender one bill is as good as another; he don't give a shit if the hand holdin' the money is smooth or scaly..it's his now.
Besides, I ought to be movin' again. Lemme get my coat, and the bar will be yours again...
alone.
