Green Markets

Green markets are popping up everywhere, but mostly in gentrified neighborhoods. Selling supposedly organic veggies. At higher prices. Ugly tomatoes. Small peddlers dressed as farmers.  Potatoes so wrinkled I would not know how to peel. Insufficiently  baked muffins. And people buy them. Not for what they are but for what they mean, Occupy Wall Street tents are not unlike these markets.  They seem to mean.
