and one of those old-fashioned spiral notebooks. what is that you are doing i asked? he told me. he was writing the story of his life as a homeless man. by that point he had been on the streets for close to a decade and that was eventually to discover he believed he was fated to die out there. and, as a result he wanted to leave the record at this time on the streets to his three daughters. he hoped when the authorities discovered his body, before they have shipped it out for burial to the potter's field on hart island, the land of the lost souls, the title of the book, which is where he believed he was going to be buried in a plywood coffin, late into a long tranche dug by prisoners from rikers island and before that happened cadillac hope that someone might find a no book on his body and instead of throwing them in the garbage, deliver them miraculously to his daughters. but i didn't know that then. then i just knew that he was one more aspiring writer on the block. everybody in new york it seems as a manuscript, even the homeless guys but for some reason i said to him words th
