Any ideas ?

On the corner of Merton Street, opposite whatever the Eastgate calls itself these days, there was this morning:

A glass case full of bananas. Just standing by itself on the pavement.

Maybe it fell out of someone's pocket.

Damn.
I lose the bet with myself that the first person to reply to this post would be davefish.

But were you right about what they'd say?

[venta.livejournal.com]

Heck, I hadn't got as far as that.

Hmph!

As if I would post quickly back with some gibberish.
Evidently I have a much undeserved reputation, since I certainly didn't almost post that it was in fact a hooker in disguise, because she was on the run from the mob for stealing drug money off them.

Perhaps...

A glass case full of surrealists later came zooming down the street on rollers, collided with the glass cases of bananas and ended up all sprawled all over the place. Instant Dadaist slapstick.

Obviously a student protest...

...against the inhuman conditions in which one grows bananas. Or the inbanana condition.

That would make a great title for a book:

'The Inbanana Condition'

It'll be the first Neo-Southern Magical Gothic Realism novel I write.

Is Neo-Southern a real genre, or are you planning to invent it?

I think it's something I'll have to invent.
