A Kind of Living
every day she will go
shopping trolley in tow
in sleet or rain or snow
she lives by foraging
in every litter bin
she rummages within
what gem in there may hide
digging down deep inside
and in her work takes pride
inspecting items found
dropping duds on the ground
leaving trash all around
you know where she has been
for trail of rubbish seen
the park no longer clean
when her work day is done
she drags trolley back home
and through her winnings comb
pleased with her foraging
from each full litter bin
she’s done much recycling
