I stopped again tonight to visit Frank who lives on an air vent tube. Station Quai de la Gare, close to the Ministry of Finance at Bercy. We have addressed the subject of God, and he said, looking at me: "On the cross it was a slaughter".
What I think tonight since i meet the homeless is that madness is probably a way to survive when you're on the street since a long time, and that the street increases the pathologies.

Mr Philong of Saigon is a tramp who lives subway Opera. I see him for several months pulling his things, moving from time to time in search of place where he can spend a night in peace and quiet. Sometimes he takes the subway, goes to Courneuve station, but here turns indefatigably to this station.
