It is just sushi....

Sushi like butter
Heated by wasabi lips,
cooled by ginger flesh....

ginger a little too sweet

There once was a chef very snobby 
Who made sushi at home as a hobby
Horseradish was great
But did not please his date 
So with sharkskin he grated wasabi

Eel or salmon sushi rolls
Nori or rice wrapped 
Served as roll or hand roll shapes 
Eaten with chopsticks 
Served with wasabi
And gari

The special Mexican-American Japanese Wasabi chef
“It’s my first day on the job
pretty good for a first time, eh?”
…
 “Well, not really his first day”
Hah! He had us all fooled!
He deserves a big tip!...

ordering
hors d'oeuvres
simple finger
food for my
delight

taking in a bit
of wasabi
opening senses
to absent scents
revealed

reveling menu
of mussels
clams and
pearls
of oysters

tastes topsy
turvy turn 
my palate to
ask red wine
with fish?...

Sensory affirmations
fig perfume wrists
Howard’s violet candy
on our lips as we kiss
Evergreen sprigs
leave us green fingertips
as we pinch the pine oil
to breathe in the scent
Pickled ginger interlude
between tuna tataki
yellow tail sushi 
soy sauce, wasabi
Orange blossoms popping white
against the backyard tree
Sensory affirmations
reaffirm my memories...

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...

Sushi, the healthy, refreshing food,
With many varieties and sizes,
Even has alternatives for allergies,
Theres at least one roll for you!
Theres more than just raw fish,
You could ask for a cooked roll,
And Theres even steak rolls!
Yeah! You heard me right, 
Sushi isnt just what you thought at first,
With an amazing splash of soy sauce!  
Maybe even splat a little wasabi 
that might even make you say ouch!
The sweet and delightful caviar, 
Pops a magical number of flavors!...
