Neither more nor less

Where Jim lives there are no doors to close . No quiet ,secure room of his own . No isolation or sanctuary . People and the noise and confusion that they create and the threat that they may represent are always right there a few feet away . Jim and Jesse Jane sleep on the sidewalk as people drink ,talk ,play music and party- on a few feet from thier beds . This situation never changes ;the presence of the active and threatening world is always right there ready to intrude.
