THE FIRST AND ONLY MONEY THAT WAS EVER GIVEN TO ME BY A HOMELESS PERSON SO FAR IN MY LIFE
Come on Earl,
let's go to the best
bar in town
and I'll buy you a beer.
**** no. I don't
have any money
and you don't
have any either.
Oh, come on Earl,
when I first saw you
I thought, I'd really like
to have a beer
with that guy.
**** no. All I've got
is some change.
I don't want
any money.
I don't need
any money.
Tell you what.
You give me
fifty cents,
and I'll buy you
a beer in the best
bar in town.
OK, it's a deal.
(He reached into his pocket,
pulled out his hand full of change,
and gave me two quarters.
I took them gratefully
and put them away.
We walked to the bar.
