The Incredible Mangoes

simple things are happening over the surface of a complex situation

a woman asks another woman on the street for a cigarette and is given one.

a beautiful girl asks a beautiful girl out for a drink and is refused.

a bottle cap is jammed onto the mouth of an untouched beer that was opened absentmindedly, and put back into the fridge.

i wander into a duane reade on my break from work having no idea why im there and find myself purchasing an apple.

the level of resignation and melancolia is so high that it evokes a true absence of body weight, and the energy of the earth just moves us here and there.

a lullaby is being sung, and then criticized by a lesser adult.

the lady behind the counter asks if i want her to put the apple
in a small plastic bag.

a very generous man is in his room working hard to pay rent. he stands tall but diagonal, with all his weight on one foot. head tilted to the side like a parrot
