Why is there an '&' sign in Lawrence Ferlinghetti: Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a merc?

Hi, I am currently studying this poem for my english exam in November and I was wondering why the poet of this poem used an '&' sign instead of 'and' in lines 12 and 24? Does it mean something?
Thanks.
