Oh Banana -
presenting yourself in your own sunshined
wrapper – hanging in a comraderied bunch
or torn to single-hood on granite countertop or
a ragged hungry hand – throughout the world -
Oh Banana - centerpiece of countless simple
humor through ages –illustration of all that is
sweet and softly velvet when revealed…
Oh complicated, under-rated - majestic Banana -
from infant mash –to icy daquiri- to show-girl
headpiece - sexual aid or assist – on and on
and on whirling in use and taste and wonder
whirling your way even into a last gummed meal –
You Underated - Complicated - Simple - Sensuous - Delight-
Full - Grand Banana perfume the spectrum of life – echoing
the wildness of verdant wet jungle palms watching us with
a slick wink –
as we slip and slide
along with you
