Mango Highway; The Fast Track to Heaven

Merritt Island Mangoes,

Not just any mangoes,

oh no, no, no…

Merritt Island, Florida

June through August.

Mangoes, Mangoes, Mangoes.

Beautiful,

succulent,

meaty,

dripping with juice.

Purplish,

greenish,

yellowish

all melded together.

Ohhh the sweet fruit of the Gods.

Tommy Atkin Mangoes,

Thai Mangoes,

Odell Mangoes,

Valencia Pride Mangoes

Sunset Mangoes,

Southern Blush Mangoes.

Firm to the touch,

but slightly giving

Juice dripping down your chin,

taken with the delicacy of the taste,

eyes rolling back in your head.

Pure delight radiates from within

and filling the room.

All super-fast highways to heaven.

Pause,

listen closely

really really close,

you hear the delighted,

joyous,

explosive,

laughter of God.

All Three grinning from ear to ear with mango juice dripping down their chins ….
