New faces, new experiences,
And above all, speed.
I’m finding at this market,
Money-saving bargains.
You’re seated on the train and
10 minutes later, you’re there. Where?
The market of course!
Tremendous advantages – strawberries for 75 cents,
A pint of candied ginger, 50 cents a pound,
If I proceed, you won’t believe it me.
In the writing workshop, I can
Imagine hearing, “Where? Tell me where?
How do I get there?”
Before me
I see fresh blueberries picked from the farm –
50 cents a pound.
Will you tell me why
this is my first visit to this
miraculous market? Proximity!
All this in the neighboring township!
