The mango section
Mangos with womens’ names-
Julie mango, and exotic atulfo over there with her dark orange flesh
Who will name the cucumbers? the zucchini?
and , god forbid, the daikon?
Onto oranges
Clementines, shiny and small
in blue-netted bags at the end of the aisle
I walk by, busying myself with loose onions.
I walk by because, sweet clementine, $5.99 is
far too much to pay for small, mushy oranges
from China.
so sorry.
