Heheheee... a companion piece, eh? Let's see...off the top of my head...
Good Deeds Done
We speed along at 75 on 84 at 4:30.
Orange bags dot the shoulder where
Girl Scout troupe 135 has adopted
this section of highway. They've donated
an entire Saturday afternoon scuffling
through the side brush and gravel
picking up other people's refuse, all
the while laughing and calling out
to each other, I've got another recyclable!
as they inhale exhaust fumes. By the end
of the day, their faces look like masks
covered in dust, but their eyes sparkle
for their good deed for the day, even though
there will be no thanks from passing motorists.
