MARKET [PLACE] OF MASS DESTRUCTION



The smog has lifted
From Point Loma
I can see it
So very clear
All the way down
From Mexico

I can read it
On the newspapers
At the threshold
Of Ron Cohn’s
Chula Vista store

No wonder the fish
Are turning to mush
Inside the case
Cold and smelly pulp
But the sign said
Pacific Snapper

Is the bacteria
In seafood
A biological weapon?

When the engine overheats
It begins to vomit water
But the motor’s strong
Because it has
Thoughts of steel

The client made a comment
On the 3 levels of meat
“It starting to look like Vons”
He said
And I thought:
That’s what customer service
Is all about

The astute observation
Of the red Mercedes
Persuaded the judge
To rule in favor
Of Mr. Cohn’s
Ex—employee

Many are convinced

The best cars in the world
Are those
German Hondas
