Ode to the easy peeler

what art thou, easypeeler

the peeler knife or the cabbage
the potato or the mushroom
(who peels mushrooms anyways
except for some)
however tempted people people brush them
without a brush i wash them
- i don't have the peeler knife to
nor the brush to
brush to peel

is banana the easypeeler?
so easy to peel that it's probably just a peeler
avocado is a tricky case
hard to peel when it's raw
but it peels itself when it's ripen!
there's this cousin of mine who peels even grapes
i have almost stopped washing them
peel to wash, painfully washed off of their skins

but these are not the cases i feel compelled to make
the problem here concerns the human lexicon
instead of whichever citrus it is now this orangey fruit is named easy peeler
which really gets on my nerves
objectified to be consumed by humans
situated in an anthrocentric universe adorned in an anthrocentric language

and it doesn't have to be!
it's not meant to be peeled and consumed by humans!
like the humans it's just a part of the nature in which nutrients and substances go in cycles!

when orangey fruit becomes an easypeeler
wood becomes a handyplanker
pig becomes easychopper
father, motherfucker

there's life in it
