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.
People are mostly good. They do good, and they do bad, but as long as they are around they are mostly good. Those who have lives that aren’t exciting are mostly good themselves.
