mango

mango

freshly picked,
hanging from the trees,
some may fall,
right from their leaves

exposed and naked in the summer heat,
when suddenly arrive the sound of feet,
product of a plump chimpanzee,
ready to feast, underneath the tree,
as the sun begins to set,
and the mango gleams

sweet nectar, succulent too,
do any of us deserve this fruit?
well the chimp does, and he would brawl
as he gobbles it down, pit and all
