hot pepper

this green
jalapeno
pepper reminds
me of someone
i used to know
as it burns like
a red light on
the roof of
my mouth
and gives me
indigestion.
it sneaks up
on you, hidden
in the fold
of something
warm and spicy.
it's so good
going down,
but ahhh,
the price you
pay for a little
bit of fun.
it makes me
sweat just
thinking about
her devious
delicious ways.
