Sweet Red Cherry Tomatoes From Your Harambee CSA Garden Have you ever wished to venture forth beyond Your primal ancestral circles And see what's up in the village Across the river from your own?
Have you ever longed for sweet red cherry tomatoes So fresh and juicy the old world Protestant or Catholic in you worries that Eating them might be some kind of carnal sin? Have you ever felt the joy of sacred fatigue At the end of a workout in rich soil Hands in the dirt, good sweat, and Joyous work laughter moments with friends? Have you ever imagined that… Your nation gave rise to a movement With other nations you are learning to love, With an eye, strong body, and heart Fixed on the prize of Ten thousand backyard city farms. With 4 chickens (no rooster) each (Roosters visit from the early rising towns) Eyes on the prize of… Ten Thousand community farms and gardens, In old industrial city neighborhoods, Transforming themselves into Planetary villages of grace, beauty, and health? And the nation chose a leader Who could understand all this! Olde Too Much Snow and Rain to Roof 2008 P.S. Please consider sending the above folk poetry or any statement to Bill Moyers, who has the capacity to help us win a place in the presidential race for the cause of local, organic, urban, community, and schoolyard farms and gardens, n'est-ce pas?
