Fragments No. 5: Roadside Filipino Fruit Stalls

 

Marang, Marang, Marang,
Remind me my love of the fruit that stung
Our nostrils, left in the heat, what we
Didn’t eat, filled the car and house with
A pungent, fuel like reek, caused us to seek
Immediate relief in the ocean
Air canteen just down the street.
