Dew and wind covering this male life
Sleeping outside with dew and wind
Live or die according to Mr. Sky

Thành phố [city] is literally "fortress (and) streets." Here, Da Lat is only listed as Da Lat Fortress. Cam Ly is a famous waterfall there. Since this man never got past the 4th grade, there are several misspellings. He's lived outside for more than four decades.

Psychotic Vehemence Seen from Afar at Amazon!

Pitch, “Portraits of tranquil, more obscure Vietnamese towns are juxtaposed with thoughts on the farcical horrors of America's implosion. Contrasting its nakedly smug king with the legendary Guan Yu, I conclude that even a decapitated Trump would smile in self-admiration. I introduce a great writer, Nam Cao. On his 100th birthday, Old Monkey dispenses his dubious wisdom. A 96-year-old Vung Tau man rants about "flat nosed savages." There's an interview of Troy Skaggs of South Bend, IN. Most candidly, he speaks of what it's like to live on little cash in a group home.”
