Bananas
Most bananas don’t want to surprise you
and plod along to the script
the rotten looking bananas turn out to be rotten
and the uber mensch bananas live up to their promise of glory
but every once in a while
a perfectly respectable-looking  banana,
disrobed,
reveals that it is a secret ester Dorian Gray
compensated by the rare but welcome imposter
that bears smudge and grime on its coat,
yet hides youth and vitality inside.
