Who am I?"

T. and I met at the corner of Nicollet and 26th. He said I slept in a park the night before. That's not true! I slept on a goddamn elementary school playground. When I met him, I scared the shit out of him. I just needed a little money.

The Miracle Letters of T. Rimberg
The City

For miles and miles you can walk and see these little stucco homes, these little wood homes.  They’re like cottages. Some yuppies call them bungalows, and I suppose they are bungalows, but they’re really small and old and smelly. And if you’ve ever been out west or out east, you think while you’re walking through all these neighborhoods, “Jesus Christ this city is flat.”  Then go to Amsterdam one time, or to Antwerp.  I’ll show you flat.  Minneapolis is right across the river from my hometown, St. Paul. After high school, everyone decent I knew left St. Paul and went to Minneapolis, as if they were moving away from home. T.’s mom lived in one of those little cottage bungalow things. So that’s where T. lived. South Minnie. It smelled musty in that house.
