"Two Women with Mangoes" We know them, have seen them clogging neighborhood streets, business ghettoes of grown men deep in thought. Oh yes. We know women whose surplus breasts bob along under sad smiles of unnoticed good looks, forgotten attributes advertisers and bankers and bakers ignore -- perfect skin, smooth teeth, tight firm muscles on grand architectures of bone. We have seen them or those parts moving along under our steady gaze, beside our dreams of youth regained. Unencumbered women, mango and melon mongers, in huge cities of anonymous men in gray suits and ties black as hangmen's rope around necks. Anonymous men gape slackjawed into an unknown, the unknowable, the big breasts of women who have other things in mind. On Polynesian isles these women are mothers and daughters. |
