The Day Fruit Smoothies Came to Carraroe

There they were,

all shining

clear

and see-through

plastic

the hole’s on top

like the Pantheon

in Rome

all open to the skies

the flies

the opaque yellows and pinks

mangoes and pineapples

with names like

rasbamango and applefluff

people walked accessorized

cups in hand

brains frozen

from the combination of low fat

probiotic,

bionic yoghurt and fruits

that could never, ever

have grown in Connemara.
