    BANANAS

    by Scott C. Kaestner




    tired of writing about the t***p administration
    so today gonna’ write about… um
    hmm… let’s see… that’s it…
    bananas!
    ya’ heard me, bananas!
    the potassium rich phallic fruit
    bright yellow and ready for action
    affordable and portable, simply delicious
    just peel back the outer layer and bite into it
    an andy warhol painting, a velvet underground album cover
    founder of republics, foreign multinational corporate dominance
    impoverishing the working class and abusing their labor… you see
    the world is bananas… a place where fruit can be a tool to abuse power
    a place that has everything for everyone being denied by a greedy few
    instead of feeding the masses bananas are used to entrap the masses
    sometimes too green or too rotten or they fall into tiny lil’ spoiled hands
    which leads me to our current president… oh wait… fuck… nevermind…

    BANANAS!
