a little satire comparing kudzu to racism
It’s called the front porch vine
grows over everything
makes for comfort with its shade
easy to propagate when you get tools
roots are huge and spreading
deep rotted
hard to pull out
just when you think you’re rid of it
here it is again
it can bring folks together
like a festival
a klan or a government
some use it for their own advantage
cultivate it
profit from its invasiveness
stir it in a drink
feels warm and good
when drinking kudzu tea
