The Bananas in San Pedro

I have been staring at these bananas hanging on a tree right across me every morning facing the backyard of a neighbor. Six months, I think. It's interesting because after days of wondering when I can eat them, they are now in front of me. And I just want to stare at them. They have been my companions over coffee and facebook for the longest time. I felt it is not in the spirit of justice that I devour them, they were oh so green for the longest time. Now they are ripe.   Ready to eat. Yet I don't want to. Funny how life gives you what you can have freely, but you yearn for those which you cannot.
