DarkLamb: fresh pack

  • krispayne · 1 month ago
    i get tired easily of walking out of a store, pulling the wrapper off the pack, lighting one up and immediately getting asked once or twice for a cigarette. I understand that he may indeed have been homeless, but in this town I can never tell and so despite my want for a better world, I have to lump all beggars the same. its the same as when I get on a train after an incredibly long day(which is more often than not) only to have some dude kill a sam cooke song, loudly, in my ear, and then ask for money, instead of going to the Y, having a shower and a shave, and walking over to mcdonalds and getting a job sweeping the floor, and moving up like the rest of us.

    Not calling you out, I understand completely how insensitive it is to be an asshole, I could just keep walking, and most of the time I do, or I lie and say it's my last one. But what's worse, engaging and releasing the tension and anger, ignoring the problem, or outright lying about it?
