"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
