Every day, on the way to school, or when we’re out and about around town, we pass the same homeless persons, at the same locations. They are always at their self-allotted spots. I wondered why they stick to a specific location, so I asked my mom if she knew:

“Well, you see, they establish a certain rapport with the people passing by and familiarity keeps them company, perhaps.”

Maha Bawab Tourbah

It’s that voice in my head. It needs a place to vent, and a space to invent.
