Two Scavengers in a Truck…<br />
This describes a specific moment in time, at a red traffic<br />
light at 9am in San Francisco.<br />
The 2 scavengers (bin men) are compared with a rich man<br />
and woman.<br />
The poet uses the idea of the ‘American Dream’ – Is it<br />
real? Is it fair? Are the rich couple any happier than the bin<br />
men?<br />
No punctuation is used, reminding us that all this happens<br />
very quickly.<br />
The poem gets us thinking about social class – Is it right to<br />
class people in this way?
