Street Boy Dies At Twenty Six

Funeral of a street boy from Lawrence Kansas. Handsome lad, bi-polar, twenty-six and a half. Dressed like a bobsled team with fake heads some days. His mother refused to renew his motorcycle license. This led to his death. He feared the police would ticket him Worse yet, confiscate his motorcycle Because the license was expired. There was a police chase. His mother is the blonde headed lady wailing in grief. Street boy’s friends speak a bit about him. Take turns, and sometimes interrupt each other. Some talk more about themselves than him. Some mention his mother’s refusal to renew his license. Others talk about being honorary members of his bobsled team. A bobsled team in Lawrence, Kansas. A sad funeral of misfits. A hat is passed to collect money to help his mother bury him. There is enough to renew that license now.
