22) Experiment in Invisibility

Today I held two bananas
over each of my shoulders

and presented myself
as a quotation.

I've been a cry for help mostly,
sometimes a joke.

When you stirred from
your sleep you wanted breakfast

but it was too late.
I had become the urgent

prayers of a desperate pilot.
I had become a marriage

proposal blown by a strong arctic
wind across Lake Ontario.
