So....I go to Dialysis today and when I leave I see a guy laid out in the doorway of a Chinese food place and he's not moving. I think the guy may be dead. A nurse from one of the clinics walks by and pretty much steps over him. One of the guards asks if she will assist the guy. She says "my shift is over" and continues to walk away. The paramedics come and put the guy in the back of their truck but they leave with no siren. I overhear a couple talking and they said "let's not go to that restaurant. They killin' motherfuckers up in there." After that I walk to the train station and a Young Mennonite girl hands me a free Gospel CD. Does she know she's in the heart of "the 'hood?" I get on the train and I start crossing between cars. I can't get to the last two cars because a Cop has locked the door and is talking to some young kids. I motion to cross and he says "you can't cross between cars." I wait until the train gets to a station and I skip his car and continue to the last car. The cop follows and pulls me off the train on 69th to give me a ticket. (Now I'm a thug.) I then find a guy's ID from a Wrigley Field Restaurant and decide to return it. I ride all the way to Wrigley and witness a White lady refuse a seat next to a Black guy (the train was full). Just another day on the CTA.
P.S. A few days later I get a call from the guy whose ID I found. He was very grateful and wanted to take me out to dinner. Is this guy hitting on me? "No thanks, dude. It was my good deed of the month."
