The cans rattle along behind
making almost as much noise
as the car that pulls them.
–
Two souls unite in the front seat
of a rusty bucket with wheels
taking them to their next stop.
–
With only $20 to her new name
and five more in recycled cans,
the two tally their worth.
–
Richer than most, these two are,
since their value is not in things,
but in the bond they made in this car.
