I had a conversation with a homeless woman in my neighborhood who had been a trial lawyer, a successful one, until the day she was suddenly unable to be in an enclosed space. She threw her TV out the window and climbed out after it and never voluntarily entered a building ever again. She also had some sort of very evident impulse control problem which affected her speech, she would just say things that mentally well people would only think. And she once told me as if it were a great compliment that I was real and not imaginary, she could tell. She was well-spoken and clearly intelligent. She lived in a car wash during the summer, I have no idea what she did in winter. Elmont makes me think of her.
