Tomato Seeds

I don't need
a tomato
that rides
well,
a transcontinental
traveler.

I just need
a tomato
grown from
grandmother's
seeds.

I don't need
a tomato
perfectly
round,
a spherical
aberration.

I just need
a tomato
grown from
grandmother's
seeds.

I don't need
a tomato
blessed by
the grower's
association.

I just need
a tomato
grown from
grandmother's
seeds.
