by Nora Casey Is there anything sadder than an abandoned shopping cart in the bushes under a freeway overpass? The abandoned shopping cart is old, rusty, dirty. But the Walmart logo is still on the front of it, in faded blue and off-white, that once said “Big bright store here. Come on in and buy something. All good stuff, even if it did come from China.” I drive on past, but it leaves me wondering: Who abandoned that shopping cart there? A homeless person? Thoughts while driving on: Homelessness. Hardship. Desperation. Cold weather. Wet weather. The failures of our society. My failures. Am I to blame? Copyright 2019. All rights reserved.
