*The Marriage That Made Your City Some Kind of Holy Place* Your city will start feeling like some kind of Holy City, when On cold winter or rainy spring or hot summer days Laid off construction workers And retired young elders will gather veggie wastes >From every neighborhood's food and cafe co-ops, Brewers yeast from the finest micro breweries, Wood chips from the city yard, Coffee grounds from Alterra roasters all over town.
They'll deliver this precious cargo of potency To neighborhood gardens, edible school yards, And emerging at-home city farms and kitchen gardens, For composting food for a myriad of city worm ranches And neighborhood year round food growers. The kids in the hood will gather buckets of compost material >From just about all the neighbors, And simultaneously deliver their block's newsletters Filled with images and information to promote and defend Their increasingly connected neighbors, On higher and higher planes. Viva, the marriage of urban restoration artisans and the urban agrarian movement! http://www.milwaukeerenaissance.com/NewOrleansRenaissancePartnerships/HomePage Perfect July Summer Morning Milwaukee 2008 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
