Mango Tango Takes Two
We share a mango at least once a week -
chosen so carefully,
with price and ripeness in mind...
he peels it uniformly
and cuts it for me
into bite size pieces,
so neat to eat -
we use a fork on weekdays
and our hands when we have time...
to feed it to each other
and suck the sweet juice
from one another's
dripping fingers,
later laughing
as we floss
the meat from our teeth
