two hundred-fifty one.

stranger strolling in search of gold.

his feet dragged along a cement trail
two bags of goods in his hands, he held them tightly.
baseball cap, collared shirt with sandals, rain came down gently
as he passed a green garbage can that was fixed in the center of two
pieces of sturdy wood, his eyes and faces fell into its opening
as he searched for whatever gold was to him,
moments later, he continued on that trail.
two bags of goods in his hands, he held them tightly.
what was he in search of?
what does he already have?
where is he going?

these are questions that i can't help but ask.
