Flash Fiction

Banana-festo

I saw on the news that some man has the technology to unbend bananas, making them straight so you can fit more in a crate. I got so mad I almost threw my remote at the T.V..  Leave the bananas alone. Let me put it another way. Leave the fucking bananas the fuck alone! This is where the hubristic fingers of technology have gone too far. Wake up people! They got our children now they’re coming after our bananas. The bananas are beautiful just the way they are. Don’t let them wipe away that golden grin, its perfect undulation. Do not make straight what God has made crooked.  Run home, hold your phone up to your ear like an old banana, and you call someone. Tell them what’s going on here. Make a stand, this is where you draw the line—a nice straight line.
