Impute

To attribute cause or source (adj)

A boy drops an empty soda can on the ground
because he doesn't care about cans or the ground
and then there's an earthquake
and people on the street get knocked over
and the street lights
and stop lights
and garbage cans
and then the ground stops shaking
and the boy looks around
and sees people and garbage on the ground
and he sees the empty soda can he dropped
and he picks it up
and then he picks up a garbage can
and throws away the empty soda can
and he walks home
and helps pick as many people up
on the way
as he can
and he apologizes to each one as he offers them
his hand.
