Encounter Part II

On my way, again
On my way to a friend
Out at night
Guess I ‘m a night owl
Some kids were daring each other 
Of who would 
ask me if they can help push me
I was close enough to hear
I politely said no at the gesture
My neighbor Easton was near
I then accepted his offer to help 
push me halfway and back home
On the way, he tilted the wheelchair 
on its two back wheels, all the way
to my friend’s house
we arrived at my friend’s house
normally I would be afraid of falling 
being in a tilted motion
but I trusted Easton for some reason
I collected money that was owed to me
Then me and Easton left
We were home bound
Somehow, I became aware of 
Easton that was a bit tipsy
While I’m in my chair in a tilted motion
I became a little afraid 
of falling but kept it to myself
We arrived at our street 
where we parted ways
We said my goodbyes and thanked him
He replied don’t thank me
Thank God…
