the overweight person here
uses Domino brand
sugar cubes
in her coffee
or tea
and I eat them sometimes
when no one in the office is looking
I remember seeing the
dilapidated Domino factory in Brooklyn
from the port bow
of a booze cruise
heading towards the Statue of Liberty
and feeling depressed
imagine that
a sugar factory and you feel sad
and there are no Splenda cubes
for the overweight head of accounting

I remember seeing the
dilapidated Domino factory in Brooklyn
from the port bow
of a booze cruise
heading towards the Statue of Liberty
and feeling depressed
but not because of the building
or because of the people who used to work there
the people who maybe still don't have jobs
the people who maybe killed themselves because they didn't have jobs
imagine that
a sugar factory and you feel sad
and there are no Splenda cubes
