I eat a lot of bananas,

But I am not a monkey,

Just a guy with a weak heart.

A weak heart means less blood to everything

Including the parts that digest the food.

And so to keep things moving

I have had to adjust.

I have had to choose a gentler fare.

And I wonder if that’s how life is for all of us.

There is no “one size fits all” prescription for life.

We do our best to keep the machine running for as long as we can.

And perhaps that is a good reason to be kind to those

Who do not eat bananas.
