Brand New Banana Skin

 

She saw colour from a familiar mast 
like kisses on a pallet 
said hello I am the stranger 
long since from the past 
I return to be your ochre.

So there she was 
popping into a moments thought 
disturbing the blue of my filter tipped 
which was mildly pleasing 
as it succeeded in breaking 
the monotony of my quest 
to seek out brand new banana skins 
for the tangential exercises 
I had accustomed myself to indulge in.
I don't really think it was ever her intention to 
spend the years past bouncing off glass panes 
although she had become quite an expert 
within this her alternative stylised art form 
she conceded that each experience delivered 
the same intensity within its shock as the last.

My salvation was to be a chance meeting 
with the blackest of sheep and 
the indifference of a half eaten lion tamer’s whip 
and an excuse for overlooking commitments outstanding 
to say it with flowers was born.

As much as I had wished I could 
the fact was simply
an inability in entertaining any notion 
of immersing myself in her panties 
whether thrown or otherwise expressed
so I was left with no option other than 
to leave the roses and poses to wilt 
before replanting them in gardens 
hidden within the puzzles of discarded umbels.
