Thank you

As I was coming home today this homeless man asked me for a dollar. It was apparent he was a veteran to this alternative way of living because of his age and clothing color. Regardless of this analysis I listen to his request. "Do you have a dollar for me to eat?" He asked with green snott hanging from his nose. "No but I do have this big bag of chips for you to enjoy" I said with a feeling of happiness knowing I wont have to waste the food packed in my backpack. He looked to left, to the right, then finally into my eyes. He snarled and said, "You think your bag of chips is going to make my problems go away? You think after I eat this piece of shit you can go to sleep on you comfy bed, pray to your God, and continue watching your shitty TV shows? I don't think you understand my situation, in fact you can keep your trash! Why would I want it?"

Being overwhelmed with shocked I stared at the green goo and scratched my left eye brow. After a quick pause to recuperate from the sudden attack I said, "I don't know, I thought you could use a snack while you collect the resources to numb the hardships of life." he titled his head thirty degrees to the right. I clarified to him, "I have no money but I thought if you got free food you would have more money to spend on brew." He snatched the bag of spicy flavored chips and gave his final "thankyou". I boarded the bus not giving it a second thought till I got home and decided to post this. lol Fun times coming home from school.
