today i went to tompkins square park and like seven hundred people asked me for spare change, probably because my shoes were so shiny. i said no i didn't have any, which was true because i used up all my nickels and dimes and like two quarters to pay for an iced coffee. but even if i did have money i probably wouldn't have given them any, mostly because i was reading 'atlas shrugged' which makes you hate people who need things for free.
