GARDEN TRELLIS ISLAND FARMER’s MART



Transcription
The morning light splashes like sea spray
foam about the bow of a steamer come heavy
from the old country, full of equal parts
hope and sorrow--but today's steaming travel-
lers aboard the wind to new lands, looking
for new fields to call home, new country to
exchange sustenance for and with, are
VEGETABLES FRUITS PRODUCE FRESH HERBS
NATURAL MEDICINE THE ESSENTIALS OF THE EARTH
coming through this impromptu weekend Ellis
Island, variform colors and faces grown
rich under a sun that now, alone amongst
strangers, knows where they go when they
think of home...if they had individual
names, they are no more, called only by
type, by stereo voices shouting on these
masses:
TOMATOES PUMPKIN SAGE DRAGONFRUIT ONIONS
ORANGES PLANT BASED MILKS LEMONADE!
