Fresh diced pineapple
Canned shipped juiced sent overseas
So simple and sweet
Bright labels hide the sharp cut
Edges of can and
Edges of plow the salty
Sweat that drips runs pours
Edges of borders
That keep you in working for
My simple and sweet
How many plants does it take
To fill your one day
And my one can is the taste
Enough to make this
Worth the sweat to bring one can
To one mouth am I
Worth the sweat to keep making
That fruit your whole life
I taste your sweat in this piece
Still seems so simple and sweet
