Soul Dirt

An incomplete list of some of the ways in which I believe I have picked up soul dirt throughout my (or this?) lifetime.

• The times when I pretended to be asleep when my Mother needed help with something and I just couldn't be bothered.
• Not saying anything the one time the self-checkout glitched and charged me 1p for a bunch of bananas.
• Not oferring my seat to a woman on the tube who was somewhat "old" but not quite grey-haired old but then later noticing that she had clear mobility problems.
• Telling homeless people I don't have change when I actually do.
