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.
