The Bean Eaters
They eat beans mostly, this old yellow pair.
Dinner is a casual affair.
Plain chipware on a plain and creaking wood,
Tin flatware.

Two who are Mostly Good.
Two who have lived their day,
But keep on putting on their clothes
And putting things away.
Two who have lived their day,
But keep on putting on their clothes
And putting things away.
And remembering . . .
Remembering, with twinklings and twinges,
As they lean over the beans in their rented back room that
is full of beads and receipts and dolls and cloths,
tobacco crumbs, vases and fringes.

Mereka kebanyakan makan buncis, sepasang kuning tua ini.
Makan malam adalah urusan biasa.
Chipware polos pada kayu polos dan berderit,
Sendok garpu timah.
Dua yang Sebagian Besar Baik.
Dua yang menjalani hari mereka,
Tapi terus pakai pakaian mereka
Dan menyingkirkan semuanya.
Dan mengingat. . .
Ingat, dengan twinklings dan twinges,
Saat mereka membungkuk di atas kacang di ruang belakang yang mereka sewa itu
penuh dengan manik-manik dan kwitansi, boneka, dan kain,
serpihan tembakau, vas dan pinggiran.
