BANANAS
The banana is a delicious fruit.
It’s elongated…curved…and kind of cute
It’s true all bananas are called bananas
they all share the banana name
but when we look more closely…we notice
no two bananas are the same.
They can be long or short or fat or thin
some can be yellow…some are green
yet when someones says banana…
we know exactly what they mean.
Still, despite the differences in bananas
(if you need a reminder…see above)
the banana in all it’s diversity
is a fruit most of us love
We don’t care where they have come from…
or how they are transported
If they’re grown inside this country…
or if they are imported.
In truth whether we’re looking at them closely
or seeing them from afar
we tend not to take any notice of how different all bananas are….
or even if we do notice…we never make a fuss
because the differences between bananas
is meaningless to us.
Wouldn’t it be amazing in this country
from Main to California…from Texas to Montana
If we humans thought of other humans…
like we think of our bananas?
