Subject: Fwd: Ode to the Habanero

 
[for the forthcoming planting season]
Ode to the Habanero
True XXX Story
 
always in season popular
where the Sun so hot
must be a commie plot
 1950's-1960's matured
lurking there in the left hand cut,
light out, my habanero pepper
baby-doll hatchling darling
 
lonesome in the 'fridge - an
electric neon the sandwich
traffic has not touched
night of the living dead,
a most dangerous plant
more powerful than kryptonite
 
in the beginning was the word
y la palabra was HABANERO...
 
en El Jardin de Habaneros, el eden
back yard Xikano garden of spices
on Bagley y West Grand Boulevard,
Eva Sanchez said to Adan Garcia
in her most sultry voice
 
"orale honey, fijate, check out
this bad ass hotpepper, it is
sooooooo rico y good for you tambien! "
the remainder es historia
barbed wire fencing- cold
rio bravo waterway showers
 
later that evening,
into the wee wee hours
de la manana, adan
called eva his sweet
red hot pepper woman
 
hefe habanero
un dios among men
no es colored plain red or green
by god Herself si no pintado
glowing bright beelzebub red-orange
plutonium pulsation hypno-salivation
salvation chicken burro spicy
como el amor I fell for the lure
the fire set me free ...
 
oh beef y frijol tacito !
 
oh shameless
glut-o-nious stuffing
of one's own jowls !
 
I aged 4 years initiated into personhood-
tia habanera mi madrina y cool dos exxes
bironga mi padrino ...
