the shopping cart

unlike others,
because you are such
a good person.
you push the shopping
cart from your
car, after unloading
groceries
into the trunk,
back to the store.
you don't leave
it in the lot for
others to avoid,
letting the wind push
it about denting
doors. no. you
are better than that.
instead you take it
back. so it surprises
you when you leave
it on the sidewalk,
not pushing into
the stack of others
lined up, that a
woman yells at you
wagging her finger
and says, if that
isn't the height
of laziness.
