Milkshake Truths

Truths of and about milkshakes of bananas or strawberry when one shakes up the truth behind the answer to the question about why bananae isn’t a good word and why it isn’t seen in any dictionary after words like fountain pen and talcum powder immediately following words like urgency and hurry in haste watching films about lovers who elope in long trains of thought drinking bottles of water under big banyan trees the house of monkeys and birds that clear your mind off things that you do not want to think about sitting on a chair sharpening an eraser tipped pencil in a notebook that goes on long walks in the evening wearing short ankle-length cotton socks and shoes measuring distance in feet three times which make wooden desks and chairs in rooms where windmills make music and generate power that light up bulbs making radios speak and sing their favourite songs in their favourite times of day where almost all of everyone is asleep in the middle of a sunny day in a sunny place wearing a red shirt with little ink-stains of blue and green that wish that they were something else and at times that they were stains in some other colour, colours of the rainbow in the world of crows or peacocks singing cuckoo songs in the ovoid shapes of eggs and Easter bunnies that hide behind washed clothes hanging on clotheslines drying in the sun of the summer midday spinning strings from clouds weaving fabric thin as steam for her shirts and skirts in pale pink and white
