On the shelves,

enzymes

for lactose intolerance;

maltose

for fructose intolerance;

quinoa

for gluten intolerance.

 

Merlot

for middle management intolerance.

 

(Editor’s note: poet Shai Ben-Shalom, an Israeli-born biologist, examines current events in the Blacklock’s tradition each and every Sunday)
