Smoking in Bed
| This is the front yard. A level area of woodchips surrounded on two sides by a hedge to break the wind and — more importantly to Atlanta residents — hide the homeless from view. The woodchips are the homeless person’s mattress; he or she sleeps on the ground, on the discarded cigarette butts and pigeon feathers or anything else thrown down. Woodchips, cardboard and a blanket open to the wind and rain are the best the homeless can hope for in the rich, growing city of Atlanta. |
