April Fools and Cynical Notions.
April Fools has come and gone, and I am shy two friends now from the experience. One for good and the other probably too. I'm too little and too late.
A discussion of honesty and truthfulness: fuck it, how can I actually give my piece when the reader must question if I am being either?
I just gave a woman at the gas station $5 so she could get back to Kansas City. She had a little kid in the van, and a pregnant belly. It was one in the morning, so I have to wonder if she was being wholly honest with me. Probably not. Credit cards, late nights, blunt requests. It doesn't add up. Either way, she has her gas.
For all I know I showed her that there is still kindness in the world. More likely though that I showed her that she could get a couple of gallons for free. That was all my cash too. Now who's the sucker?
There's more, but let's avoid over-redundancy. It's not the sort of thing worth recording anyway.
