Heaven - clear as glacial ice - on
top
hell - fuelled by dragon volcanoes -
below
and in the middle in man-made
solace
banana suckers brought like
slaves
to the apex of another
Triangle Trade
do what Africans
have always done
flourish
where they are planted
but Arctic drafts still
seep through greenhouse
glass
brightened by
Polar sun and nearly
4000 miles
southwest
as the crow flies
the former slaves are
wrestling with
nationhood
as Icelanders
fed up with tariffs wrestle
with getting those
suckers
to yield their energizing
fruit
in 2 months
rather than
2 years
