they are the
Garbage - Pickers,
full of wealth
collected from
daily dreams
and sidewalk schemes.
she,
on-the-left-
stoops
and
cranes
her twisted frame
until she reaches her
Silver Delight.
He,
merely watches,
crawling along in
frag-
ments
like a tortured snail.
Both are holding balloons
of paper bags,
death-rattling in the wind
foreshadowing their futures
echoing memories of
silver dollars, pennies, and dimes.
Reason for writing:
just toying around w/ a scene outside of my house! :)
Birth sign: Taurus
