there was a black man outside the speedline today
he told me he needed money to get home because some kid cut his tire at dunkin donuts
he asked for eight dollars... i had well over 8 dollars.
all in a matter of 10 seconds i thought about how all these stupid crack heads like jack fuck with people and get hundreds of dollars from people in a matter of days simply by asking for a dollar or two, even faking that you need money for a cab or the speedline. i thought about how he would take me as the biggest fool if i gave him money. i thought about him possibly killing someone or himself because of whatever addiction he may have had
when i took out my wallet i had the biggest sense of pride. and as i handed him the eight dollars he told me how wonderful i was and that i was a saint.
whether he went and told more people the story or not, im glad i didnt just ignor him
