Farmers’ Market

There is no map of the Farmers’ Market.
Every Saturday, the arrangement of stalls
is different, so you need to figure out
where Radical Roots sells baby carrots;

you must search again for where Evening Song
displays arugula and pea shoot greens,
where Three Bears Bakery has ciabatta,
where Whaleback Vineyard offers apple wine.

Some would call this an opportunity 
for a planner, or a cartographer,
to help shoppers locate the goods they seek - 

but I value the weekly change in landscape,

	how the path you choose through the vendors
	lets you discover for yourself a prized find.
