The following week we shall have
a dragon fruit, and this week’s excess
goes into an avocado.
My daughter holds it – an egg
of extinction with a small red and white
rectangular price tag.
I sigh and check the internet search-
‘How to know that your avocado is ready?’
Your cheap knife remembers its prime,
tremors and parts the expectation,
reveals the light I first saw you in, at the port
after an unslept night and flight.
The internet says that the mesocrop
is quite set to be devoured, but we know
how it may taste already.
