to market, to market to buy a fine pig.......

I love the Webster Street Market
I go every Saturday
to see friends
to mill among the market folk

farmer Dan and his family
raise free range chickens
and everything else
organic
you can thing of
they just had a new baby

there is usually live music
today it was the down home
stompin variety
fans toss dollars
into their bango case

I secretly wish I could play. . .

I had my usual cabbage roll
it hits the spot
my toe taps to the music
as I breathe in the scent of cabbage

sometimes I stop by the candle shop
I chat with the clerk
I adore the lace
wall hangings he sells

Then it's
home again
home again
jiggety jig

Renewed . . . .refreshed
with the belief that
neighbors do exist
in 2006
