Ready to die yet?

 I remember 

a few years ago 

when I was boarding 

a flight to get to

Mumbai suddenly 

as Amma was sick 

I had a thought 

on the way to the airport: omg 

I haven't taught my kids 

how to cut a mango!! 

I can't die yet. 

And yesterday I saw 

my son

expertly cut one. 

Now I must make a list 

of all he needs to know 

and teach him all that 

and quickly.

In the meantime 

I'm enjoying mangoes! 

I shall teach him how to cut 

a pineapple next. 

And then breadfruit 

and jackfruit... 

I can't die yet,

I can't die yet.
