They eat beans mostly, this old yellow pair.
Dinner is a casual affair.
Plain chipware on plain and creaking wood,
Tin flatware.

Two who have lived their day,
But keep on putting on their clothes

As they lean over the beans in their rented back room that
is full of beads and receipts and dolls and clothes.
tobacco crumbs, vases, and fringes.
