Today, I met Rails "flying a sign" in Denver. Kind of threw me off when he told me he lost everything from smoking crack. I mean, look at him. He's barely 20.
Like many homeless youth, rails end up traveling all over the country. Many hop trains. I didn't ask, but that could be how he got his name "Rails".
Rails like Denver, a city that seems to attract homeless youth, and the predators exploiting them.
"Living one day at a time, left foot in front of the right" are all Rails could say about his future.
Very special thanks to Team Invisible People
