To Hell With You, Buddy!

Hey!

I just came from the Chicago Human Services Department and, as I expected, they were of no help in my effort to get off the streets. There is this program that supposedly gets one into a YMCA for 4 months. It sounded too go to be true, so I made it over to the place to check it out.

Here's the deal. After you fill out papers, wait for an hour or so, you get to see a case-worker (or something along that line) to fill out some more papers. They also require a TB test to accept you.

At this point I was drooling. Think about it! After 7 years of homelessness, a place with 4 walls of my own! All I got to do it take the damn test.

Guess what? It costs money get the TB test in Chicago!

For some reason that doesn't sound exactly right. TB is a deadly desease and testing should be made free for the Common Good. Right?

It's the tent for real now!
