lending a hand

been thinking about something ever since it happened last thursday

Driving to the track to do a workout

Windows down, music blastin.

of course the windows are down, my AC is broke

and I'm too poor/lazy to fix it right now

Pull into the track parking lot

see this guy

We make direct eye contact

Lasts 1.5 seconds

He throws his hand up and yells something as I drive by

Normally I would have stopped and helped almost anyone

But my instinct and gut told me not to stop

Didn't trust him at all

Just off of a glance

Maybe my instincts are right.

But then again maybe they are wrong.

Maybe he needed change, to borrow a cell phone, or maybe he wanted to hold a knife at me and borrow my car for good.

And maybe I'm safer because I didn't stop

But maybe humanity overall would have been a little better off if I did stop
