for dinner tonight
New York cheesecake dessert —
a sweet creamy mouth feel
from cows
raised roaming green pastures
right here
in the bright
California sun

What’s that you say?
The logistics are wrong?-
It’s a nation apart?

It’s just the 2010 Atlas
you know,
the maps all confused —

kind of like
celebrating
the 4th of July holiday
with sparklers and fireworks
from the corner
quick-built wood stand

if you look closely
you’ll see in
tiny black print on the back of the box
(printed really quite boldly)

Made in Japan!
