The Life (Something Other Than)


Apples and mangoes
Draw out the human in me
Also the human in you 
Like juice dribbling off your bottom lip
Vernacular disregarded
My native tongue 
Your americana gaped teeth
White as the lies 
Rich kids tell after they realize
Santa was only around to
Suffice for father's absence...
