How does cilantro taste?
Like mint and basil swirled debris.
Like the smell of freshly mowed grass
but sharper.
Like a spritz of lime
that’s landed on iceberg lettuce.
Like parsley and ginger’s love child.
Like that chest feeling
when you’re tired from the summer sun.
Like my tastebuds are singing karaoke.
Or I guess if I were you,
like a curse word at grandma’s house.
