Ten Thousand Things Food Co-Op Has a Workday

Once upon a time there was a food Co-op, and they had a workday. Everyone came.

They came with power.


They came with wonder.


They came to paint.

They came to polish.

They worked high.

They worked low.

They cast spells with the wand of cleanliness

and prayed to the window goddess of transparency.


They came as families

and as friends.


The knew when it was time to work,

and time to eat,

when it was time to rest

and time to stare at the Swedish gummy fish.
