[Maricel Evasco]

are you a BANANA?... thick skin on the outside... peel into you and find a softer side?...GRAPE?... someone who works good in groups... LEMON?... tart and feisty.... WATERMELON? large and juice? ... a PEACH?.....succulent with a hairy pit....a PINEAPPLE?...prickly on the outside, sweet on the inside

etc

I am an apple. A good old standard hard working fruit. Nothing fancy, but I get the job done.

Green or Red?

[Maricel Evasco]

I am a mango, exotic but familiar.

 

my mango might be ripe

and sweet

red

just the way I like to eat

yellow juices running down

my greedy chin

fingers sticky

still squeezing firmly

to get everything

out of the skin.

your mango might be hard

green

crunchy and tart

sour even

eaten with some salt and pepper

or hot sauce

brings out all the flavor.

some mangos end up in between

force ripened

hard

pretending

to be soft and sweet

just a layer of ripeness

covers

that hard heart inside

they only look good

not worth the ride.

whatever the taste

feel

or color

each mango is what it is

to the taster

none of us can taste

the other

until we bite into the same skin

only then

can we tell

the real thing.
