At first Charly told himself heâd moved to Skid Row to be closer to the immigration office. He would keep trying. Once he refused to leave the office. They made him. After a while, he stopped going. He stopped meeting with his probation officer, too. People began to call him Africa. He did not correct them. By then, he was flickering; present and gone.
On good days, he liked to talk. Sitting on his milk crate, he drew around himself his small circle of crystal philosophers, men to whom the drug seemed to returnâas long as a ten-dollar hit lastedâthe power to make sense of the tragedy and comedy that had funneled them down at last to this dusty corner. âPolitics. God. History,â says James Attaway. âHe was a good comrade,â says Juju. And then there was the third man: Laru, who would call the police on Charly that Sunday. Because, heâd tell me, there was, hidden in his Bible, a bus ticket home to Minnesota and to his infant daughter; and because that morning when Laru and Africa scuffled, over Laruâs wrong words to a woman, Laruâs Bible fell open, and his ticket fluttered away. Gone. Thatâs why he called the police. Africa would understand. He, too, had lost his ticket home.
