spicing things up

i'll never
eat another jalapeno
pepper again,
i say
to myself,
as i swallow four
magnesium
chalk
like pills for indigestion,
trying to
assuage
the heart burn.
why did i cut
them up and throw
them
into the hashbrowns,
the eggs.
always trying to spice
things up.
i knew this was going
to happen,
but i did it anyway.
chapter three
in the story
of my life.
