Men make jokes about bananas,
phallic as they are:
but there are other analogies there,
one needn’t look too far —
The time when your time has not yet come,
and nobody will want you,
The time when the defects start to show
when each new spot will haunt you,
The time when there’s little left to prove
that you were once alive —
And the very brief moment, the day, or the hour
when you, for a moment,
thrive
To share is human:
