I have eaten nothing but
bad bananas
all morning.
Yellow. Brown. And boring.
Laziness.
{like a cat —
the one I let outside.
(it was an accident.)}
yawns and arches
his back
like a bad banana
peeled
like eye-
lids
in the morning.
The cat is snoring.
He will not move his paws
to walk around
the boring.
He watches it rise and fall
(it is miniscule)
but he watches
and lets it all
fall
to
silence
(and sleep).
Half asleep and
humming
like TV.
Commercial-isms about
bananas
(Chiquita)
so we remember to
buy today
to be
healthy
to send
boring
on its way
early in the morning
before we let it
re-close
our eyes.
