and so then
I pulled
the old pour
a 24 oz. Blue Point toasted lager
from Patchogue, NY
into a 24 oz. XL Dunkin’Donut
Styrofoam cup
so I could conceal
my transgression
I could sit on the train
and sneak sips
while creating the illusion
of drinking coffee
any environmentalist will tell you
Styrofoam is evil
and not biodegradable
and I can’t argue that point
but at least I found a way
to make it slightly less offensive
and inspire warped verse
to corrupt our youth
