Arbitrary Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

Arbitrary



I am in my Honda Civic car at Haji Ali:
Boy of thirteen knocks on window screen,
But I turn away from this beggar, sure,
Not knowing how to go about it always.

In the morning however at Worli
I had asked driver to slow down
While I took out a ten rupee note
And gave it to that young beggar.

There is no difference between the two,
Both are begging by tapping on car window;
One makes my hand to open a wallet
And the other make my eyes move away.
