the best thing about hope in a can

the best thing about hope in a can
it can be kept on pantry shelves
for what seems to me an eternity
unlike the ones peddled at farmers'
markets, ‘fresh, no preservatives’,
guaranteed to ferment within a week
suitable ingredient for home-brewed
lager or starter at pharmaceuticals
concerns who manufacture remedies,
unlike hope, for commoner maladies.
