I reckon the shopping cart belongs to a regular shopper who used the cart just to get to the bus stop. A homeless person rarely ditches their cart or bags.
It's a really good atmospheric haiku partly because there's a story behind every empty cart, including mine. ;-)

Very nice, Alexa. I like how you leave us hanging. What's going to happen? Are these the last days of a homeless person's life?
moving on—
the bag lady heaps her life
into a shopping cart
