2020-06-06. Cedar Rapids, IA. Many persons claim to be absolutely broke; in reality, few actually are. Let's face it: the
phrase has been bandied about far too liberally in martini bars, over loan-processing conference tables, and in response to dunning creditor phone calls. Give it a break, people! If your creditors still talk to you, you're not broke! They wouldn't be bothering you if you were. Or if you are wearing duds swell enough for a decent martini bar, where you will surround yourself with all those beautiful people--you are not absolutely broke. They wouldn't let you in the place if you were. Even if you only have a telephone, you are not absolutely broke. So cut it out!
Homer Lester Teabury, a blogger who calls himself Homeless T, is a former professor whose life collapse gave him a lesson in humility. Without a place to call his own, without a car, money, job, friends, or his children from 2007 through 2011, he provides anecdotes, information, and humor on the homeless life.

Ye be sailin' into biblical headwinds, Matey
moonin' over that frilly yellow-haired doll
who felled ye in the first place, a-falling
down,
down,
drownin' yer soul in her poisonous squall.

Sample the dead duck shot down in your fray
taste all their miserable schadenfreude fare
like milk of human kindness flavored with fear
like milk of human kindness flavored with fear
This table of boors will let you sit here

28 August 2018. Tired of bosses starving out the hard working man? If you're working for the hourly wage at this late juncture of your life, you might consider pulling up stakes and relocating to the fracking capital of America, Williston. Fast food workers start at $18/hr, and skilled labor is proportionately scaled. Big money. Click the banner and go.
Homelessness Won't Last Forever
I had been on a path leading nowhere since December of 2005; out of work since December of 2007; and living on charity since December 2009, with no unemployment benefit, transportation, suitable clothing, or county relief. Perhaps the worst part of it all was being reviled by former friends.

2008-4-15. Greetings to my homeless, about-to-be homeless, and this evening, to my never-ever-going-to-be-homeless readers. You of the latter persuasion (well-heeled, deep-pocketed, loaded with the long green, rich) have wandered into Homeless T's world for a respite from that damnable sense of ennui that sometimes besets the well-tempered souls of upperclassmen. Perfection is tedious. What you may need to satisfy your curious craving is a generous dose of Homeless T's tonic-for-the-deadly-bored.
