Tapped out. Charged my gas. Out of nowhere he’s ripping the gas pump nozzle out of my grip & waving me off under the station’s canopy night lights. Filling my tank. PUMP IT FOR A BUCK. He could be spraying my face. This is no Edward Hopper painting. On this corner I’D LIKE TO HELP YOU SIR BUT I HAVE NO MONEY doesn’t fly. He’s getting my plastic slid thru his lips or the cheeks of his ass when the pump clicks off.
