I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allen Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fibre and liquids, and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me.

-Ellison, Ralph Waldo

Invisible Man, prologue.

The vital accessories to my work are my reference books, such as the complete Shakespeare and a prayer book, and a large refuse bin.

Prayer of the Refugee

The last hope in a desperate situation, you're last shot to make something work.

Usually works because of the power of sheer desperation.

girl 1: weren't you gonna dump your bf today?
girl 2: yea...but he got down on his knees with a basket of roses and begged me to forgive him...
girl 1: Oh wow. I guess he pulled a prayer of the refugee. You didn't have a chance.

refugee camp

Refers to a group of ethnically exclusionary immigrants that occupy multiple units or residences inside the same apartment building or neighborhood. The term does not necessarily indicate individuals with poor economic conditions.

For instance a large concentration of middle class, immigrant computer programmers residing in close proximity in the same apartment building would create a refugee camp.

The term is especially applicable to immigrants who refuse to interact widely with individuals outside of their own perceived ethnic group.

Such individuals may harbor racist feelings towards other ethnic groups but go unchallenged due to their recent immigrant status.

Groups of immigrants that live in close proximity to one another in the same apartment building but interact little with other residents would create a refugee camp.
