up in that garret…
a musician? maybe writer?
maybe a lonely man? 🦊❤️
When I was growing up, there was an old man who lived alone in the garret of a house on my street. He was different in many ways and often was teased by kids because of his odd behaviors. He used to go door to door and sell greeting cards to people. When I passed his garret I would often hear classical music bring played on his record player. He loved music and I found out later that he was a good piano player. I also discovered he had rheumatic fever as a child which resulted in his many different behaviors. I also learned that he graduated from college and received a degree in a field related to music. There were many wild rumors that swirled around about Homer, but none of them were true. Every time I see lights on in a garret, I think of him and the mystery surrounding him and that I wish that I had gotten to know him better. 🦊❤️
