better living through chemistry

my friend Albert
works
down at the government
food lab.
he's making apples
bigger,
sweeter,
turning grapes into
candy.
the watermelons
are hand sized
now.
the bananas are 
so bright that the yellow
hurts your
retinas.
peaches taste like pears.
pigs are fatter,
chickens
are the size of dogs now.
we're making
rib eye steaks out
of soy
beans.
wait until you see what
we do
with fish,
we're putting legs on
them
so that they walk right
up into the nets.
