Atlanta Cabana Bandana Banana


I pinch the night with questions. I’m a taciturn swipe of firecracker juice. Each horse is an overture, each monkey a paramedic. Distortion harms my manners but the nightingale gives me pie. The nightingale is an invention. We don’t have them here. What we do have is muttering & seismographs. The pins sputter sea lions while simultaneously holding homonyms in homilies. Is life an odyssey, or more like a hobby? I’m just now learning to intercede among the stones & further the merit of introversion. Extroversion is just introversion inside out. And that’s when the owls cruise through the cubbyholes in my eyes, & the night turns wicked with wax & stationary. 
Mike Tyson says the gods of war have reignited his ego & he wants to fight again. But how? Is there a way to box & practice social distancing at the same time? Can you stage a boxing match on Zoom? So if you’re boxing via Zoom & your opponent swings at your jaw with a left hook do you have to pretend that you got hit? And if they meet in the ring, will they be wearing masks? Will they be using hand sanitizer? Will there be an announcer, or an audience? Is sneezing permitted? My guess is that it’s not. What do the gods of war have to say about any of this?
Religions make everyone go bananas. That’s been my impression. Take it or leave it. One opinion isn’t going to change the world. But that doesn’t stop me from sharing them. It’s amazing how much judging goes on second by second. Millisecond by millisecond. It can’t be measured. It’s all a matter of perception. Perception is the reception of exception.
There’s something about bananas in a window to make you think it’s wonderful to have bananas in a window. Five bananas six bananas eight bananas maybe even nine bananas. The flesh of the banana is mildly sweet & indeterminate. There’s something vague in the flavor of the banana that promotes somnolence. Prepositions in ointments with a reed mouthpiece. And chew and chew. The appeal of the peel is pellucid. Lucid pellucid fluid. Elusive reclusive. Druid cupid. Stupid useless translucid cabana. In Atlanta. With a banana. Atlanta cabana bandana banana.
