I Run; Panting; Rushing to be on time.
My cart's wheel screaming clicketty clack
Hurrying through darkened city streets and alleys.
Gnawing Hunger outweighing my fear of red-eyed rats
as scents of tonights meal fills the midnight garbage bins.

for a moment the connection between this piece and the prompt escaped me, and then it was clear that this seems to be about the nightly search for food by the homeless. unusual take but well done.
