'''at the tone,,, the time will be 1-pm ... sunday....... beep...''

Old-man, my 12-year old mentor just dropped by
to hang out
chill
while the rain continues to fall ... falling a likkle harder now.
Old-man chattin' with me & landlord
.....Old-man has a likkle garden with gungo peas, callaloo AND he has two goats.
* sigh *
WHAT was I doing when i was 12....????....
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
.
.
.
when Old-man took me mango hunting
i was constantly amazed at his actions, movements, how he *flex*
every now and then,
he would STOP
...pause
......look around.
........survey the surround-ings
............listen
in deep deep
d
e
e
p concentration ----- as if he was working out some kind of calculus problem
we'd go along the winding paths
in the bush
..grass growing head-high in some areas
.....rocky paths
.......muddy paths
we'd come to an area,
under a few mango trees
....mangos all over the ground
.......just like landlord said it was:::>> '''...mangos like water..''
to me,
all the mangos
look fine.
but to Old-man
there were only certain ones he *wanted*
we might find 30-40 mangos on the ground
and he'd only *select* one or two
me no know what was wrong with the other 36-38
:-(
.
dem looked fine to me
* sigh *
.
.
on we went
hunting.
.
.
.
BUT,
every now and then the child thing-y would pop-up
in Old-man's behavior
he'd be several paces ahead of me
.....and then i didn't see him
:-(
i continue.
....then:::>> he'd SUDDEN-ly *appear*
him playing hide & seek with me
...trying to frighten me
....as he hid behind a tree
.......or crouched behind the tall grasses
glad he didn't freighten me
'cause if he did
i SURE would have tumbled down the hillside
down
down
down into one of the gullys,,,... over the hillside with the 85-degree slop
can you imagine..??..:::>>> me rolling down the hillside, falling on my machette
...to be continued...
