THE STAR KIST SMELL

i grew up in Mayagüez, miles from the Star Kist processing plant but downwind from it. can’t remember if it was at 3 or 5pm, but everybody had their watches set to their afternoon firebomb: the time they burn the fish remains and stink up miles and miles of ’s coast.

i have avoided their products for ages. to me, they’re a symbol of the poverty of avoiding work or housing close to them.

well… am broke enough, just opened a can of their tuna. it was on sale 😣
