Juicy Fruit Drippings

I like to eat oranges, and mangoes, and watermelon and pretty much any other juicy sweet fruit that leaves my hands in need of a washing. I also enjoy those stringy bits that get stuck between my teeth. I like it especially on a summer night when the air has turned cooler but the earth is still hot. I enjoy looking out into the darkness and feeling the heat from below, the cool from above, and the juicy in my mouth.

Some people would cut up the fruit and eat it with utensils to avoid getting too many drippings. But, for me, the more senses I can engage in consuming the fruit, the better. Its better when more surface area gets tangled up in the activity. The skin on my chin and the skin on my arms and sometimes the skin on my legs add to my enjoyment when a dripping fall and spreads.
