Pilgrimage: ¿Is it 42?: Driving to Salinas

I think of César and Steinbeck
what are the farm workers tossing on the conveyor?
Beets? Carrots? I don't know
the names of the plants got lost two generations ago
Grapes? Recognizable from years of vineyard tastings
Maybe it's leaf lettuce for the insatiable San Francisco foodies
I wish I knew the names of the plants
and the people who pick them
