The pouring down rain

would be the least of his

worries - his family didn't

know him; called the cops

and he was arrested.

Resisted - was beaten

severely; he awoke hours

later in a town that would

have nothing to do with

him; he was chastised

and stoned.

"Get the hell out of here

Nowhere Man!" Ran to

a payphone - called his

mother; "Mom, what's

going on?" "Hello, who

is this?"

Hailed a cab - had no

personal means of

transportation; got in

and looked at the hack's

license; it was his picture

with a different name.

Yelled, "Stop!" Couldn't

pay him - his wallet was

gone; ran to a park to

collect his thoughts; a

flatfoot came along.

"Beat it, no vagrancy!"

Headed out of town - tried

to hitch a ride; thought he

saw his brother; jumped

out in front of the car; was

hit; ambulance made a late

appearance.

By the time the EMT's got

him to the hospital, he was

DOA - sent him right to the

morgue; nobody came to

claim his body; he really

was a Nowhere Man.

While he was laying there

all cold and motionless, a

bright light appeared - was

his Guardian Angel; "I've

come to take you home to

your savior - Jesus Christ."
