while driving to school on thursday, i noticed a guy standing on the corner of the freeway. he was looking for a ride. he wasn't the usual old man that you see, he was a younger guy, and not a bad looking one at that. what caught me, though, was the look on his face. he looked angry, he looked sad, he looked bored. he didn't have the usual fake look of extreme sorrow that the people on the corner usually try to get.

standing there all in black with his thumb in the air, i stared at him. he looked like he was tired of standing there. he stared off into space, rather than at the people driving by. but then, he caught my gaze, turned his head, and made eye contact. we stared at each other as i rode past him, until we could no longer.

i then felt bad for him. i don't know why, but i did. if i had been driving i'd have stopped and given him a ride.

the rest of the way to school, i wondered what his story was.
