smart cookies

we

used to laugh and make

fun

of things

when we turned it over

and read

made in China.

we assumed

it was poorly made,

rushed

through a factory

by little

slave children

with smudged faces.

but what isn't

made in China

anymore?

my friend

Jennifer

even has two adopted children

from China

now.

Sally and Biff.

they're scientists at NIH

and they're

only three.
