( A found poem)
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

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
... and his successors:
bamboo and iron-
a small tropical-looking man
with narrow almond eyes
that rarely shed tears
easily torn in a shower of steel
so vulnerable
so loyal
