pssst! i'm full of vitamins
chiquita banana quips
with pride
at the breakfast table today
as if i need a reason to want to be here
with her.
well don't rub it in, i say
that may be so, but let us not forget
that i'm good for you too,
aren't i?
and then i peel off her
unripe first layer
i should have waited
more than five minutes
after bringing her home
because halfway through the long
curve of her body, i'm weary of
the premature taste
i toss chiquita banana
in the nearest receptacle
with all the love and care
of a hired mercenary
and grab a raspberry yogurt
instead
