In truth, poverty is an anomaly to rich people.
It is very difficult to make out why people who
want dinner do not ring the bell.
~ Walter Bagehot; "The Waverley Novels" (1858)

Background

When you end up with nothing, your sense of morality tends to fade pretty damn quick. Tell a starving kid that you will give him half if he just goes into that store and swipes a loaf of bread pretty soon he doesn't question it anymore. What's the worst that is going to happen? He goes to jail where he has a roof over his head and 3 square a day? Oh no, don't twist my arm! So yeah, I turned to crime to survive. Nothing really all that violent, though. I didn't murder nobody. I didn't even rough anyone up, at least nobody that didn't deserve it. Nah, man, I was what some people might call a second-story guy. You know, the kind of guy that sneaks into a place in the dead of night and sneaks back out without leaving a trace? Now don't get me wrong. I wasn't like some master cat burglar or shit that was taking on the mansions of Beverly Hills or nothing. Downtown LA has plenty of places to get into with much less security. I only stole what I needed to survive. Hell, half the things I took probably weren't even missed. A pair of pants, or maybe a t-shirt from one of the warehouses that advertise '10 for 10' or some shit like that. I wasn't getting rich off of it, just enough to make sure I could survive another day. What it did do was give me skills. You break into places for a living on a nightly basis; you get a lot of practice dealing with things that are handy to have when you try to keep a low profile or need to get away from a place quickly. I think there is some fancy term for it these days, Parkour? Something like that, anyway. Whatever the word is, I just called it running for my life.

Soundtrack

Pearl Jam ~ Even Flow
Freezin' rests his head on a pillow made of concrete again
Oh feelin' maybe he'll see a little betters any days
Oh hand out faces that he sees come again ain't that familiar
Oh dark grin he can't help when he's happy he looks insane
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh he don't know
So he chases them away
Someday yet he'll begin his life again
Life again
Life again
