Everything but farmers.
Had my heart set on visiting a farmers market.
In big city Chicago,
of all places. But got sidetracked. My Italian true love and I decided first
to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo. Then go
to the farmers market. Just south of the zoo. An unwise decision. Got there,
and someone was loading a van with empty crates. “Where’s the farmers market?’
I asked. Turns out, we arrived an hour
too late. Missed it all. That’s what I
miss most when in Chicago. Farmers.
Chicago
would be a better place if it had more farmers. More country hicks. Chicago is getting too
cosmopolitan for me. Instead of bean
stalks, I’m seeing skyscrapers. And gorillas, monkeys, tigers, giraffes,
camels. Everything but farmers. Because I bungled an opportunity. –Jim Broede
