the sun wraps around the minot trees like a lover’s arm around its other lovers tuesday breathes in the warm oak park air as the farmers market unspools its roots from 4pm to 7—digging into the earth with 35+ seeds (those who grow and knead and weave) ripe with the tender & the tough whole foods sprouting between raindrops and rainbows and here the bell rings and everything sings of baskets filled with abundance (but only if you hear it)
and the blue rider leans back into its old barstool smile where magic spills from 30-year-old packs (remember? the first time you cast a spell?) tonight the chaos draft rolls its dice and pulls in eight souls who pay 40 for the memory and a chance to walk away with the wild the chaos the sweet sweet thrill of card and chance
but before you go don’t forget to take out (tuesday) atypical brewery whispers (one dollar off per can) and the earth thanks you for the swanky holder you might forget but another look (unlimited) says not today not today
to minot i say—to all the things that grow and spill and sing—listen, listen to what is not said
