imagine a cow popping
out a carton of milk,
soft cardboard, covered
in afterbirth, black-and
-white speckled print
over the box. then, on a side:
missing child. the words
and face
are wrong. but how
else does the milk
get made? you must believe
that chicken nuggets are chunks
cut from the bird
and fried
deeply. and you will
never guess where pink
lemonade comes from.
