That guy, the one walking down the street
So I was outside smoking a cigarette in front of my apartmet. Like any usual saturday it was bustling with that Saturday energy and I was enjoying my cigarette I noticed a man walking down the street towards me. He looked to be like any of the other half-crazed people in my neighborhood and also looked to be carrying some sort of bags. (What would you expect when you live next to a AA meeting place and a half-way home. Anyhow, as he got closer I noticed his bags were full of trash and true enough to the craziness he stopped in front of my apartment to pick up some trash, stash it away and continue on. As he was leaving I offered up a trash can that I keep tucked underneath my steps. He unloaded his burden, put his arms up in an ‘X’ and I did the same. We ‘bumped’ our arms wished each other a good night and he carried on down the street. He carried on with a mission and not only a few yards down he started cleaning up the city again.
