Farmer’s Market
John G. Young
shiny green car
white in the sun
dappled black shadows
across the pane
flowers orange blue
white magenta
in tins not quite stable
with floppy signs--
prices to pay
for brief beauty
covered bicycle wagon
yellow and blue
from a distance
an umbrella and table
not what it seems
three people
not easily seen
in the cacophony
of color
under a canopy
of umbrellas
only my yellow butterfly
in her black baseball hat
balancing
on her Canadian crutch
gay with flowers
in the shade
