Tomato salad (The inflated elephant)

The making of tomato salad must not be taken lightly

To you, it is the pinnacle of art:

“I have my own recipe for my own taste:

I need vinegar like an inflated elephant

and the tin of salt with the small holes

and, yes, I can stir it all with a teaspoon,

and if you think I´ve filled my bowl to the rim,

you´re mistaken,

even though I don´t really need any tomatoes in it.

But what I really wonder is: Will it last forever?”
