Poem on Buzzfeed

Some of you know I've had eight addresses across three states in the last five years. Right now, after new owners raised my rent (West Philly) by 35% and called it a market discount, I'm between homes again. About a decade ago I was in the Philippines and lost pretty much everything I owned in a storage space in Jersey - photos, books, records, the whole lot -- because I didn't have a job and I was half way around the world and I was too embarrassed about having no money to ask for help. I'm on the road a lot. So I keep departing. I keep saying goodbye. This is a poem about what's left.
