The guy's sitting cross-legged
The guy's sitting cross-legged on the sidewalk. He's got a bunch of change arranged in a peace symbol, nickels next to pennies. Only, the circle around the peace symbol isn't a circle -- it's a heart. Clever, I think, nodding in that way you do when you want to say Sorry, buddy. I'd help if I had any change on me.
"Oh thanks a lot," he shouts as I pass. "Go back to Iraq."
