Apple Jenga

Pyramids of fruit abound in the market’s produce section.
A man pokes and squeezes to find the perfect Gala. Five tiers down, he locates a winner, and the Jenga game begins.
He shapes his hand into a “C,” then moves in slowly to extract the prize, leaving a hole in the pyramid where the apple once was.
Standing a little taller, he raises his chin and puffs up his chest.
One aisle over, he sees a woman arch her back and hold her shoulders high. Next to her, three holes exist in the Golden Delicious pile.
He’s met his match.
