I’m always curious about the shopping carts I see abandoned on sidewalks around town, many quite far from the stores they come from, but not close to anyone’s home or even a bus stop.

I imagine in them a desire for travel…
New surroundings, …

To make different friends …

In the end, though, they become lost and depressed …

Having found no place that fulfills whatever expectations they may have had, some seek to find their way back home


Some wait, hoping to be found and brought back …
While others fall into a deeper depression and give up
