Combine chicken and yogurt; garlic, 
ginger, turmeric, cayenne. Saute mint 
and mustard-seed till aromatic and seeds 
begin to pop. This from memory, 
the cookbook’s lost. You have to intuit 
quantities, and what to slice, mince, 
chop, or dice. Serve on basmati rice 
with cilantro and condiments of choice. 
Inhale, close your eyes, taste India....

I am your clam, your mussel
I am your tuna, your salmon
I am your cream cheese
I am your rice, white and full-figured
I am your peculiar cilantro
I am your wasabi 
I am your sweet ginger
Am I a delicacy?
Do I taste good?
Don’t you think you had too much meat? 
Maybe I should have more carrot and more cucumber.
But still, I am sushi
That’s what’s important to me...

Put those tears in a cauldron, misbehave. 
A little too upset to go outside?
Throw in some cilantro if you are brave;
What happens next will be a five star ride....
