it must be better

the manufacturers
know what they're doing.
if they want
to sell a new product
they put
a French name on it,
or a German name.
they tell you it's from
Italy, or Spain.
whether wine or bread,
or sauces.
it must be better than
the other brand,
those people know
what they're doing
over there when
it comes to food.
slap an accent aigu on
the e and off you go.
who buys American
cheese anymore?
a thin gluey strip
wrapped in plastic.
give me the Camembert
instead.
