Her eyes
a deep oceanic blue
glazed and fixated
on something off in the distance
something only she could see.
Saliva pooled in her mouth
forcing her to swallow
repeatedly.
Beads of sweat
began to form across her
wrinkle-free browline.
She inhaled deeply
held the air
inside her
for a few seconds
then quickly she exhaled
every bit of it out.
She begins to sweat profusely
hyperventilation occurs.
Suddenly she screams out
OH MY GOD!!!
Right at the exact moment
she can no longer take it
she lifts her delicate
yet clammy hand
across her beautifully flushed face
wiping away all traces of sweat.
She refocuses
trying to control her breathing.
But before she can fully recover
she opens her devil red
painted lips
and takes another bite
of that enormous
crisp
bright green
jalapeno.
Sealing her fate yet again
for an encounter of the spicy kind!
