buying local

your milk
is from local
cows,
squeezed out
fresh
just this morning.
so is your
goat cheese
from
neighborhood
goats.
that lettuce
was grown
by the woman
up
the street
who also churns
butter
and provides
the community
with local jams
and jellies
straight from
her garden.
the bread is
from
the local bakery.
that fish,
is right out of
the stream that
runs through
the woods
behind the hen
house where
you get your
local eggs.
you are a very local
person,
except for
the vodka. sweden
seems to take
care of that
just fine.
