You can put the second block into a footnote and introduce an empty block 
after your first block with an empty footnote citation inline and your 
second block into the footnote body.

Remember (and I sound like a broken record here) ... don't get hung up on 
the names of the constructs.  These are layout constructs you can use to 
achieve the desired layout regardless of the source of the information 
being laid out.  Even though you aren't working with footnotes, your 
comment "should reside always on the bottom of the page" should bring to 
mind that the footnote construct is a construct that performs this 
particular kind of layout.

Of course the caveat in this case is that if you also have footnotes then I 
think you are out of luck.

I hope this helps.
