suckers

I was about to leave the parking lot 

when a guy motions for me to roll my window down.

He's carrying a bucket and some papers.

It was broad daylight

and I am somewhat of a nice person,

so I stopped.

He tells me they are raising money to help people with addictions,

and could I spare a couple dollars to help do God's work?

I gave him what cash I had on hand,

which was only a few bucks.

He thanked me 

then handed me a paper

(to give to anybody I know w/ addictions)

and a blow-pop (cherry - of all flavors) from his bucket.

As I drove off,

I had to wonder if he was saying to himself,

"a sucker

for a sucker"...
