of Bananas and Donuts



Bananas are so yellow that
Andy Warhol
stripped his to pink
made undergrounds of velvet
quickly
coyly
covered
for inquisitive to gawp

Bananas are so yellow
that the sun is shy
but doesn’t burn them out of jealousy
or create banana cue

Bananas are so yellow
that canaries take flight
Kandinsky cancels play
Coldplay become hot

not even for cops in cars
drunks in bars
not for dunkin
bananas r us
donuts are them
we sprinkle and tinkle
high carb low carb
celebrities crunch munch
so sure that
bananas are not donuts

But in some crazy mixed up world
Banana cream
Banana essence
Banana icing
hidden banana
beneath the dress
they fool the unwary into believing
that  they are
