I
stole two bananas this morning
In
broad daylight
From
under noses
After
walking in, under the half moon
Over
a pile of old coleslaw on the curb
To
which someone had helpfully added
A
small plastic knife and fork set
After
screaming into the night
Over
things that really don’t matter
The
gods covering their ears
The
cats listening from rooftops unimpressed
It’s
good to keep yourself on your toes
Touch
life
Test
the world from time to time
Make
sure it’s all still there
Still
tangible
The
rules of the everyday
Do
not apply as much as you’d think
Even
if you don’t do anything of note
Even
if you are not regarded by others
And
just go about your small life
Content
and happy and just getting
By
That’s
ok
That's
alright
Just
don’t forget to
Keep
tasting the fruit once in a while.
