OUND THIS LITTLE GUY IN THE GARDEN. HE STOOD OUT FROM THE OTHER VINE-RIPENED AUTOMATOES BECAUSE BODHISATTVA TOMAT APPEARS TO HAVE A SOUL. THAT SWEET EXPRESSION OF COMPASSION TINGED WITH SORROW CARVED ONTO HIS LITTLE FACE (there’s not much else to him) CAN ONLY BE INTERPRETED AS A DEEP CONCERN FOR THE ONGOING DISMAL STATE OF THINGS IN THE WORLD. IF THIS TURNS OUT NOT TO BE TRUE THEN I WILL hEAT MY tomHAT. THIS WILL BE HIS AUTOmat DA FE.
