Mango


It have certain things dat de shape of ah mango allow it to do an' not do - dat is physics. 
Mango doh know like how ah woman or man know. Mango only know like mango could know - dat is metaphysics.

But mango know enough to be real surprised when it leave de stem and never hit nothing.

Mango confuse in as much as it could be afflicted by confusion. In terms of what mango know, when it leave de stem, it supposed to hit ground. Mango didn't call it ground, or hit, or stem, but still, mango know de ting dat was supposed tuh happen, didn't happen.

De way it should go is, if mango not on de stem, then mango have one mission now, and that is to throw root into ground and grow into tree. Mango don't know root or tree either, and it don't know grow. Mango just know mango.

Mango is just really a slave to chemical responses triggered by physical stimuli, such as, a middle-aged mango, refusing to make de necessary lifestyle changes and thus becoming too heavy to hold on to a stem (the inherent paradox being that fuller mangoes are more desirable and the pinnacle of this desirability results in said mango being eaten, or falling!) Said stem giving way, releasing mango into free-fall, and as mango spins it begins to release new chemicals. Cacophanies of peel, flesh, seed and amber sap-blood, and de pale milky tear forming where it was attached to de stem, all combine to make a scent that must attract, flies and birds, cattle and people. Mango need help, to strip away de flesh and de skin so dat de seed could now, naked as it born, return to de earth, back to mother.

Outside of physics, a nex' ting mango doh know is probability. Dis itself, not too far fetched, given mango total lack of any mathematical knowledge. Ah mean, this not limited to de computational level but even if we just talking basic numeracy, maths and mango is ah NO. Like dat shit so understood it capitalized. Case in point, if yuh have two mango, and somebody yuh doh like ask yuh for one, how much mango you have? None...but we digress. 

So probability and mango is ah NO. Mango just releasing chemicals and advertising itself for consumption so dat it could survive. Mango, surprisingly, more and more sounding like a sex worker. Mango, releasing chemicals, advertising and spinning, don't know, but know dat it suppose to hit ground, ignorant of maths and anything math related, and is off de stem, in free-fall, making little mango-type revolutions through de air, and what den, are de odds? 

What are de odds dat mango spin in a way that no mango ever spin before. Is not so much dat mango spin out of existence, is more like mango spin right into existing and awareness. On de way to what was supposed to be down, after leaving the stem, mango never hit ground. De perfect, mango-type revolutions, as executed by now off de stem, free-falling mango, excite up molecule in de atmosphere and, de molecular activity lead to, now known to mango, a build up of energy as un-witnessed by humanity or mango prior or since and a resulting wormhole, just large enough and appearing instantaneously long enough to swallow mango, and only mango. It eh take no ground, no stem, no nothing else. It was, just a blip of something looking like it become nothing. Like it was never dey.

Mango with de perfect mango-type revolutions is now in an ascended state of nirvana and has gone from being an un-regarded collection of universal material, to the center. Mango, by entering the wormhole while performing perfect mango-type revolutions triggered two things. 

First, which was triggered by the wormhole but, the wormhole was created by the spin of Mango and thus causation can be attributed to Mango. The wormhole led, not through time but rather to an eternal moment. 

This moment led to the second thing which was Mango becoming sentient. 

This sentient, still spinning, free-falling Mango, immediately understood how it came to be. The wormhole that it generated took it to a dimensional plane where it is forever trapped in its act of perfection, the perfect mango-type revolutions that it randomly fell into, while falling from de stem. Having been transported to this eternal moment while embodying mango-type perfection, Mango also acknowledges that it is not only sentient but is in fact transcended. Mango now, lives in the moment, has no judgement, is fully enlightened.

Mango's first and second to last thought as an enlightened being is:
Now that I am sentient and enlightened and understand what has transpired, I can also make my way back to earth and show dem people de scene.
Mango's last thought is:
Nah. Fuck dat. First man see mih go try to eat mih.
Which is very much an un-enlightened sentiment, the realization of which causes Mango's rotation to wobble ever so slightly from the axis of perfect mango-type revolutions but it is enough to immediately reverse the whole process.

Back on earth, though it seemed like only the blink of an eye to mango, two hundred years had passed. The tree mango fell from has long gone, withered and died. The field the tree was in, gone, now a small city in the general area, but only pavement and road in like, the exact spot where the tree was. This hungry vagrant now shuffling off, wishing there was a tree to shade him from the hot sun. He in the middle of pondering this when a full, juicy mango hit him on top his head, like come out of thin air, just drop outta nowhere.
