v2_Bananafish : Banana :: I :

[Read " Bananafish is to banana as I am to ]

Everything
I didn’t know
I swallowed;
hook, line, sinker,
fishing rod, fishing man,
boat, ocean, continents,
the world,
our galaxy,
the universe.

I washed it down with a Jesus Malbec
and ate the rest of God for dessert.
God is omni-sweet,
omni-flavors must be saviored

They went down much easier than I did,
biting off the unfamiliar parts
of yourself is always crab legs awkward
and tastes like your voice on TV

The bananafish always die
because a bananafish never seen
is a bananafish without a story.
And obscure mythical fish,
as much as Santa Claus, are
dependent on their stories to exist.

But what did I know?
What was my story?
I can only assume the world
is based on assumptions.
