"My youth is being wasted like a useless cigarette end. I've got no home, no friends, no job. I wasted my best years stuck in this town. My manhood and my heart are melting away before my eyes. Let me add this, too. I thought of nothing but leaving this town before military service. On that particular morning I felt there were deeper ties binding me to this town. There was the scent of pines in the air. That day I felt, I saw the pines and the oaks for the first time."
