I looked at the man with curiosity,
He climbed into the trash can.
Looking for the treasure he wanted,
A full stomach. 
I didn't understand at first
That he held a bottle half full;
Sprite filled to the label.
I saw an aching man turn into a joyous man.
He reached for the stars
His clothing reached as well,
I saw his ribs screaming in joy
He finally found the treasure that would cure his pain,
For only a few minutes.
A pain I knew not,
I reached for the door of the restaurant
