In speaking about the gentle and measured experience of consuming a simple mango, the questions of how we might return to the roots of our ancestors through an act as basic as fulfilling our need for sustenance, and the myriad of possibilities for how we may intertwine joy, pleasure, play, and care into our daily lives, are posed. Ultimately, this poem aims to explore notions of what it means to engage in genuine and unadulterated mindfulness, outside of colonial constructs of space and time.
