Question

Of all the thousand selfish cars some stop there but not for buying something. why do they there at all?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Maybe the cars are owned by the working staff or someone might have parked them because of less space

Answer 2

The poet highlighted the mean and selfish nature of the city dwellers by mentioning that they did not have the kindness to see the pathetic condition of the roadside stand. They did not stop there to buy anything from them. A few who stopped, did it either to back the car, or to enquire about farmer's wages, or to ask if they had a gallon of gas.
