Tomato Trilogy
by Laura Petersen
|
I.
Beefsteak tomatoes at my father's
Table were thinly
Sliced and smothered with
Sugar.
They go down easier that way.
II.
I left home and
Learned from
My husband that Roma
Tomatoes are
Firmer and
Sweet
On their own
Without C&H.
III.
Gone from both men now,
I discovered that
Tomatoes aren't
Sexy
Women, don't need
Our help and aren't
Really vegetables
Anyway.
