It spilled across the border and planted itself
Stretching its roots like a weed
Creeping across the country
Springing up into whole neighborhoods and businesses
Lush and vibrant
So there it is...
Mexico
A piece of Mexico right here
And I can smell it before I reach the door
It smells of jalapeños, tomatoes, and cilantro
It smells like tortillas and beans
I didn't step into a restaurant
No, I stepped into Mexico
And I've been invited to dinner
I smell Mexico
I taste Mexico
Zesty, spicey Mexico
It is here
I have never been to Mexico
Yet...
I have
And it's oh, so delicious!
