CHILI PEPPER SAUCE

Add salt and pepper
to a tablespoon of ground yellow chili peppers.
Add a level spoonful of sorrows.

Just as you would spread butter over bread,
spread the mixture over dreams.

After removing invading frigates
from the frying pan, pour the broth
or water into a pot.

Bring to a quick boil,
then empty like a scream
among the living and dead.
