Pushing Wasabi

It was a little trippy
selling self care wasabi peas
to a county raised on chicken fried,
but once I pitched everyone could use
a little fire in their biscuits they started
planting the mouth burners on every road
not timeshared by weeds.

Once there is acceptance, then there be a flurry of activities from those who will jump on the bandwagon. Very much so Susie!

Susie, far out, man. This is such a wonderful poem. The story, the voice of this is just sooooo impressive. Well done and viva la!

Nice, concise, Susie. I like the fire in the biscuits competing for weed. I am not street knowing of all that's in here though.
