Global World


"Try this Madam, King Coconut is good for you.
Taste Madam it's good."

King Coconut is a bright orange thing, you slice its off the top
with a machete kind of knife
and drink its milky sweetish water.

Wrapped up in clear plastic,
its orange or maybe green skin removed,
I discover coconuts to drink displayed here in a shop window,
next to apples and oranges of our western world.
