Touched

i've ridden a camel i've been in a cross country taxi station wagon and floated in a felucca going down the Nile all these while just in Egypt so now i find myself not in a horse drawn cart or the mistake of not taking a rickshaw thus taking one man's income by thinking i won't treat him like an animal but as i sit at a stop light waiting for green but see a man with a sign that reads homeless take anything god bless he is to my right so i lean to unwind my window by hand to hand him what i had just a muffin but at least something but he in disbelief sees my manual window opening motion and emotionally says, "you're almost as bad off as me"

Totally true story Maureen. Perhaps he was touched by the great spirit, thus the title; but who's to say who is crazier. I'm glad I got a giggle out of you. Laughter and I go way back. My only childhood friend...ah next poem perhaps.
