and so my sister left yesterday, but not before giving me some mangoes which Wikipedia tells me are full of carotenoids and polyphenols. i approve.
what i'm not so keen on is that it also says that there is copper in there, and that it's at a "good level." what exactly is a "good level" of copper? and why are delicious tropical fruits always mucked up by transition metals? you can hardly even bite into a pineapple or kiwi nowadays without getting a mouthful manganese. but all this is besides the point.
the point is that i miss her, and i hope she gets some sleep amongst all those train people, with their cigar box smells and gray panther stares.

Copper is in our blood.
ReplyDeleteIt helps circulation, I think.
I miss eating mangos.
Homesick.
I took the panther pin off of my bag
with a sense of finality.
The train finally is coming around the last bend.
