Manihot Esculenta

In Alicante Comunidad Valenciana a retired melon picker took a part-time job with the Cableuropa phone company. At exactly the same moment in Wonjungni Ulsan-gwangyoksi a man with a melon-size head took a full-time position with Korea Telecom, knowing full well that he was bound to live out the rest of his life in misery without a tosspot to piss in. People like these live everywhichwhere, everywhere where melons are picked and heads crushed in like cassavas (Manihot esculenta), where bowlegged bawlers yowl and yammer and pick falling stars out of the night sky, where two-bit fowlers pick pickled peppers from the mouths of starving waifs. Every time a waif bawls a melon picker picks a melon-size head of Manihot esculenta and feeds it to his dog.
