It was the hot-sauce that finally did her in, and she knew
That she would never feel again. Capsaicin confirmed it.
But, turning away and walking back up the street towards the

Maybe just not do it anymore. She sat in the restaurant
And read the paper and thought about watching TV
Through the screen of myriad stereo and car ads.
