I went to feed
my hunger today
at Sweet Tomatoes restaurant—
my favorite buffet!
But there was not
a tomato in sight.
The back of my mind knew
something wasn't right.
And then I remembered
the headline of late:
Salmonella Tomatoes Attack*
in June 2008.
(Now Tomatoes can be Killers
as cult movies repeat:
"Tomatoes are not always
so reliably sweet.")
No problem, I thought,
eating salad and soup,
but did patrons so treasure
this ironical loop?
Still I knew as I ate
I would return soon
to Sweet Tomatoes ready
with fork and spoon.
