walkin down the street an ole wino hangin on to the bus stop sign to keep from fallin down "what a sight!" i mutter to myself then "judge not that ye be not judged" comes from somewheres else so i ...up to him "you o.k. .........bro?" "no!...no...!! i left my heart pills at home! i got to get home! just got out from surgery only yesterday!" "well now" says i to myself i am a fool, such a fool" but.......no cab in sight and i in such paniced fear we sit down on a bench i take hold of his hand like GROSS ELECTRICITY his death comes shooting right thru me he and i are one only one fate i try to meditate can hardly even breath he and i are one dying body complete but then the feelings calm the breathing starts to ease i look into his eyes he smiles back at me "i.m ok now " he says "a cab'll take me home" "maybe" says i "you shouldnt go alone" he says "i'm fine.....and by the by thank you for my life" finally.........i say "DID THAT HAPPEN WHAT I THINK HAPPENED?" "yep," he says a cab comes....he waves and is gone i turn and go wandering down the street
