The anger of many homeless often lies just beneath the surface. “Panhandling? . . . it wasn’t easy,” a homeless man told Gowan. “You get to hate the people marching past. . . . I used to give people this intense look, just say, ‘Please, anything helps.’ I figured people should like that, showing you’re not fussy, you’ll take the pennies. . . . The thing is, after a while, you hate them, you hate everyone, and they feel it, they know.”
