cold and hard
white-tiled floors
down
clean-scrubbed aisles
of sterile uniformity
symbol of contented suburbia
past shelves
in rows
stocked with rich
dark chocolate -
100% cocoa
at least
and of course
delivered by
grey steamers with
grey smokestacks
from across the atlantic
and picked by third-world workers
in blue overalls
under a yellow sun
in venezuela,
wherever that is
Isa Rodriguez

Erika .
picked by third-world workers
in blue overalls
under a yellow sun
in venezuela,
wherever that is....wow, that pretty much says it all for me. Brilliant!
