Greener pastures Oct. 20, 2024

  

People clutch

Their hates and hoods here

On the waning days

Of what organizers call

A green market,

When all we get

In the way of green

Are the tops

Of the carrots they sell,

This concrete planet

I have landed on

In the midst or

Rising and falling

Temperatures,

Far from the river we love

The flow that connects

Me with your

Remote location.

There is more green

Where you are,

Spouting up,

Even at this late date,

A week or two before

The clocks go back,

Only not far enough

Back to reconnect,

This environment

In which I am trapped,

And you, fortunately

Have escaped,

A real green market

Even amongst

The changing leaves.
