A Response to What Would Jesus Do at Jack in the Box

According to my mother
and all those safety contractors in my head,
I should have driven away and dialed 911.

According to the CPR instructor,
I should have used my feet to rouse him,
not my hands.

According to the life guard instructor,
use a towel or a pool noodle or a pole:
too close and the drowning person will submerge you.

But
I still don't know why an adult male
would be lying on the pavement
under an overpass
next to a fixed-gear bicycle.
So
I asked if he was ok and he fled
without a word
with a running start on his bike.

In hindsight
Jesus had my back.
