Snack Man

The man who just refilled
the snack machines
at the bus terminal
is now standing at the
wide-open back doors of his van.
He is carefully cutting and flattening
his emptied cardboard boxes.
He is working neither slowly, nor quickly;
he is working at his happiest pace,
at the speed of pressed khakis and blue work-shirt.
Finally, he loads his dolly into the van,
shuts the doors
and departs.
He leaves a visible space.
