Tomato

"Is tomato soup more important than friendship?" by Poet I try to talk to her but she's too busy eating her tomato soup I hit the chat machine and all I hear is falling parmesan cheese but the drama in the online community is too wide I only wish that I could find a friend a friend that has time away from her soup and cheese I try by proclaiming my loneliness my life without tomato soup but a chicken souvlaki salad is what I eat regularly with jalopeno poppers and chicken pastina soup why isn't my soup better than hers and why does she spend more time with her soup than with me I pray one day I'll find the answers but for now I spend countless hours alone while she sips and devours her tomato soup

Beautiful. By the way, tomato is very costly in India, these days. Congratulations!
