The Troubled History Of The Supermarket Tomato
Do you remember standing in grandma's garden,
Eating tomatoes as if they were apples,
Sunshine and rain dripping down skinny arms,
Covered with red nectar?
Freshly plucked from caged green vines
Aching only for salt:
Homegrown happiness
How many sparkling flavors
(Bright as elderberries; quirky as key lime)
Have been forever lost to our tongues
In the pursuit of the easy to transport fruit?
