if I had a warning label
it would be ignored
by all but those
of milquetoast palates
you
with adventurous
appetites
believe
I am the perfect
condiment
complement
saucy dishes
in moderation
I warm hearts
cockles
linger tantalizing
on lips and uvula
spicing up
night
life
bite overzealous
my fire
sears ears
ignites integument
try to swallow
me
my essence
fire oil
impervious to water
will cauterize
your gall
torch
all control
