Home Less
A monologue by Janet S. Tiger

Yeah, like you got no right, no right to tell me that I'M homeless! No man, because you see, I got a home. A tent, right over there....
(He points)
That's mine. Yeah, it's only got a coupla rips, and the duct tape, hey duct tape can fix anything.
I gotta cut last year, put some duct tape on it, not a problem. A week later, all well, no stitches needed, you know?
I hate when they come and do that damn census thing, asking me questions. What the hell do they know? This tent is a helluva lot better than some a the places I saw over there. I mean those people got nothin especially after those ISIS burn em out. Nothin. Me I got my tent, that's my home.
And when it's a sunny day, I am in heaven. A cigarette, some smoke, and I'm fine
Okay, so maybe you got a big old house, but I bet you got a big old mortgage to go with it! And you think you're rich cause you owe a lotta money, well I don't owe nobody nothin! So don't you sit there with your clip board and your expensive purse and the keys to your new car and think you can judge me!
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
Now that guy over there, by the river, he's only got a blanket - he's homeless!
(Goes home)
