Bargains

I was twenty short, 

so I bargained

The seller needed twenty so she refused

In between us was a trivial disconnect

Of needing a twenty, 

and not having a twenty

I made a simpler deal

I moved to another shop,

 I bought the same

Cheaper

yet still the same

The difference was of perception

Not of being, but of demands

I just needed it, wasn't a want

but wants are a platitude

Only leading to irrelevance

Subsiding and rising

wasting and waning
