    A guy asked me for a couple bucks while I was waiting for my cousin to chow up for lunch. I don’t carry cash but there was a Walgreens down the block with an ATM so fuck it, we walked together. Turns out, he’s been all over the US, he’s been on the streets for most his life and can’t stand being tied down. He was only in town until he scrounged up enough bus fair to get to Alabama where he was going to visit friends. I gave him money, he genuinely said it was too much, but I feel it was fair pay for the story and g the world view. Either way, I hope he’s out there living his best.
