grammattical questions

March fucking fifteenth and il pleut toujours...but the Ides turn tax into food. Meanwhile I'm paring and comparing, as I have to decide about grad school by Tax Day; Berkeley has nice farmers markets (peanut sprouts, in turns out, taste like peas, except slightly nutty), but everyone seems to be on Xanax, and they're not sharing. The pizza establishment Fat Slice advertises a Fat Salad, which strikes me as honest. Is there an apostrophe in "farmers markets"? If so, where does it go? I feel apostrophic, but who am I addressing? I don't care about grammar anymore, just rhetoric. I feel a not-quite calm, a punctuated equilibrium that yet might at any moment be punctured. The girl next to me in the computer lab has just been kicked out of the program because, she claims, of issues related to sexual harassment, which makes it feel like a real school, with all the problèmes avec. Also she sounds really annoying and keeps saying how "ree-dick-you-loos" her situation is, and now she won't be here anymore.

no apostrophe. i guess it doesn't belong to the farmers.

though on second thought, that's only according to new york city greenmarket. things may be different in berkeley, where they're so progressive

maybe it should be called "Jew's farmers market" since everything in this god damn country belongs to the jews!
