65 Cents....

I was walking to the bus stop those city streets get crowded people from all walks of life and some just barely walking confronted by a panhandler asked me for a dollar.... reached deep into my pocket said here,it's all i've got the panner looked with spiteful eyes said,"65 cents,no dollar" replied said I,"you've got all I got" only a bus pass I have left.... I walked away with a half smile half frown,ungrateful few make it hard for everybodyelse now...when I give,and see that look I call it ...." 65 cents "
