Essentially,

可想而知

shipping costs would have killed any margin

and local wasn't working.

而本地又没有任何销售渠道

So I took the downtime I had at a night job

于是，我趁着晚间工作时的休息时间

and made double fleece no sew tie blankets

and handed them out to fellow homeless people

把它们分发给了其他的流浪汉

after shift one morning

那是一天早上，我下班之后

at a food pantry

when the frosts were hitting.

It was a brief experience but positive.

I made about two dozens people's mornings with a clean new blanket

Yesterday,

I saw a homeless person walking down the street

with one of those blankets.

身上还披着那时我做的毯子

The fabric choice,

my poor technique,

all of it.

正是出自我手

I'm sure I've never seen this person before

so that blanket went on a journey

那条毯子必是几经转手，经过了一趟旅程

and is still providing comfort to someone.

I'm not homeless anymore,

but times are hard,
