The New Multiculturalism

In one of the pound-shop chains
in my nearest town, Downpatrick,
I bought some vacuum packed coffee
'Nova Brasilia espresso gold limited edition'
it called itself, and the ingredients were described
on the front and side were in Cyrillic, with
a small extra label on the back in English.
It seems like the the coffee was made for Russians
who wanted to be persuaded to make believe
it came from Brasil, but then it became surplus,
and for export. I am still wondering how it got here.
