A Man Eating Bananas

There was a man who ate bananas 
Sitting on a unicycle
And spitting their seeds
At nearby passing buses
The sounds of beetles’ feet
Walking on the crinkled sidewalk
Driving him crazy.

This poem is in response to a nonsensical poem by Kenneth Patchen named The Man Who Saw a Grass. So, I thought I could write a similar poem that made no sense at all. I believe that I succeeded.
