Or, The Poor Man's Bread
Three pieces
Of pandesal to begin a day.
Where’s the salt in here? I ask.
Then came three beads of sweat
Trailing my face after a walk
On three streets:
Valero, Leviste and Dela Costa.
I climb on the 9th Floor,
Of Liberty Centre Building,
To make salt.

Pandesal (from the Spanish pan de sal, meaning "salt bread") is a common bread roll in the Philippines made of flour, eggs, yeast, sugar, and salt. [Wikipedia]
