the parking used to be free
but now everyone has to pay
and pay and pay
ain't it just like that
and ain't it just like diversity
it was a sunny day
the guy selling mushrooms seemed very knowledgeable about his impressive variety of mushrooms, the kind you couldn't find in most supermarkets
the 79 year old man
with congestive heart failure
who had spent his life loving the Lord
and doing right by his family and fellow man
bought a $4 head of cauliflower and three ears of corn
at a dollar a husk
the cauliflower had brown spots on it
the corn husks were dried out and had brown and black spots on them
his daughter said he probably shouldn't buy them, they didn't look fresh
the lady from the third world country put in a bag for him and accepted his money after assuring him it was fresh
cherries were selling for $7 a pound
the man selling mushrooms had a nice variety and knew a lot about mushrooms
there was another stall
the crafts were probably made in chinese factory
the 79 year old man was enjoying the sunny day
as he stood in line to buy a latte for his sick wife
who he took care of
the coffee truck swayed back and forth
as the two young ladies of size
took orders, accepted cash
and made the drinks
the twelve ounce latte was $7
they also had an assortment of blended non-coffee choices
between $7 and $15 dollars
he gave them the $7 and stood with the rest of people
waiting for their $20 drinks to be made
as the coffee truck kept on swaying back and forth
the corn and cauliflower could have been purchased
at a discount grocer that sold old produce
but the third world women working the stall were from the third world country so no one questioned anything
as they happily waited in line after line for $50 cups of coffee
holding their brownly spotted and packed produce
a lower income family walked up the coffee truck and spent $100 on drinks for 4 people
when the 79 year old man with congestive heart failure who saw the best in everyone
and had spent his life doing right by the Lord, his family, and his fellow man returned home, he gave the $7 latte to his sickly, invalid wife.
his daughter shucked the brownly spotted and packed corn
the corn was dried out on the inside.
it was a sunny day.
