And me? I guess my address is the same as Julia and George and Sara’s.1249 Hinman Avenue.I mean, of course it is. I’ve been living there a whole year now.It is.And yet, sometimes I still wake up at night and think, Gotta find shelter,gotta find safety, gotta find somewhere to belong.Guess I don’t want to get too comfortable.
