no honey you're full full feels weird

banana i tasted one once

long long ago it was summer

the sun was warm on my shoulders flowers

i ate that banana in one bite and ever

a day hasn't gone by without me thinking

about it

what was it like father what was it like

no words can describe it thunk no

words are good enough we

get it dad just grab the banana

come here sweet things

wow
