this morning #844.

this morning, some square tried to bum a square off of me as i cut a fast path across the square on my way to campus. i’m not stingy & i know what it’s like to really want one but not have one, so i gave him one. i knew that, by doing so, i’d opened up the door. now he’d likely try to run into me in this same location at this same time on some other day. he’d want to strike up a conversation, be friends or something. i was sure of it. when he asked me for a light, of course i did what was right & gave him one. after that though, i didn’t wait a second longer. i gave him a head nod and, without another word, continued to class. if that nerd wanted to be my buddy, he was going to have to work for it.
