Shopping Car

Driving back from the video store at seven o clock in the evening, I passed a boxy, maroon 80's car. Have you seen in cities the homeless with shopping carts full of trash, random garbage and plenty of plastic bags? That's what I saw when I glanced into the car. With the exception of the driver's seat, occupied by an older woman wearing thick, slightly opaque plastic frames and a worn fisherman's hat, mixed garbage filled the car to window level. At first I thought she might be moving, but then I noticed that the filler was all crap. Plastic bags, empty plastic fast food cups. When I passed her, I glanced in the rearview and noticed she only had one working headlight.
