 Bashō
Bashō
banana or plantain-
a small tropical-looking tree
with large oblong leaves
that rarely bears fruit
easily torn in wind and rain
so vulnerable
so useless
.

Thanks hepingdao and William.
I was wondering why the poet chose the plant as his name, so I looked it up, then there you go.

Thanks Mr. Fei Ma.
The poet thinks himself as vulnerable and useless as a banana tree.
Best,
Lake
