Bargain

It was an unplanned conversation 

He gave into my bargain 

And I didn’t even expect him to 

As to why I don’t get a vehicle for myself to commute, he reasoned

"Oh but this terrible air! And what about your livelihood?"

"What does it have to do with us?" he asked

"Sure it does," I in retort 

Upon arriving 

You declined the fare - 

We initially agreed to

And I found myself in a position 

To insist that you receive it

And suddenly I didn’t feel so bad

For having to spend a little more than I usually do 

Now tell me the truth

Did I do you a favour?

Were you helped? 

Are you underprivileged -

Because I'm always underestimating the value of our needs - 

Yours and mine?

Do you have a harder life because of my ignorance?

When did my desire to help you place you in a position of need?
