Why are those bananas bruised? I bought them two hours ago,
New and unused, they were green. Perfect bananas if ever I’ve
Seen them and now, they curve against the inner edge of the
Glass fruit bowl that cradles them. Pulling away from the man-
Made light that is glaring down at them, growing bruises. There
Is something that looks like a graze, that I spot through the haze
Of my living room lighting. Did they fall? Out of the bag and
Onto the floor. No. I feel fairly sure they didn’t. Should I eat
Them, or leave the bruises to linger? I question, pressing one
Down with my finger and taking a sick pleasure in seeing the
Bright yellow turn dull brown at my touch. I’ll just let them spoil.
