Sinking Feeling
Had another chat with mom today about finding fulfillment in life. I have an answer for everything, but she’s definitely right. This lady at work said, “Don’t be wishin’ for the weekend, or you’ll wish your life away.” It’s true, but I do it anyway.
On Saturday, as I rode by on a bus, I saw a man on the sidewalk, bleeding from the head. He had a seizure and as my bus drove by, I saw him lying on his side, blood pooling in a very real way.
A week ago, my roommates and I were in the Mission and we a saw a buck naked man wandering in the middle of the street. He was on something, and he was obviously confused. Some people pulled him onto the sidewalk, and wrapped his nether regions in a sweatshirt. One of my roommates called the police.
In both cases, the cops got there in a matter of minutes, thankfully. But one more second could’ve meant the difference between life and death.
