Homeless in Taiwan: The Worst & Best Moment of My Life

Image
My banjo stayed in her case. My troubles draped over my shoulders. Hope filled my heart. Fear covered my face. Train Station Lady Boys & Bums After a LONG Trip Back to The Zhongl i My eyes stared at my feet.  The kid behind me kicked the back of my seat. My eyes kept staring at my feet. The bus let me out. Where to now? Zhongli ? My contacts can get me cash. The train ride took four hours. I popped  two cold Taiwan beers. I slugged  through the hallway. I knew the ladyboy busking for tips. The ladyboy sang  “Hotel California.” My ears shrieked. The lady boy's commitment to move to New York City flopped.  Whiskey and mild disappointment helped my friend discover she was a lady boy.

An Empty Heart For Taipei

Image
Welcome back to Taiwan. Chasing What I Can't Have In The South Sand hid between my toes, on top of my scalp, and in the cracks and crevices of my ears. Nobody wore a shirt, or shoes for 7 days. Nobody cared. A thunderstorm pounded us yesterday. The end of our vacation loomed. This end meant I might throw a temper tantrum. Mom and Dad gave me a buck and a quarter.  Mom and Dad also told me to just go talk to her.  Just go talk to her seemed as easy as performing open heart surgery. I was 10. I held the green note, and silver change in my right hand. I waited on the battlefield. This means I waited in line. Her blonde pony tail flung around the sundae making area. It was so freaking blonde. I wanted to marry her. I was convinced she was 13. This made her incredibly cool to me.  I waited 5 deep in line while I fantasized about our marriage.  The complications of school, and her living in a different state didn't s...
