Song: "Fire & Desire" Rick James and Teena Marie


I did something pretty mean to that ant.

I put a spot of honey on the floor.
In the center of the honey spot
I put a dot
of hot sauce.
Oh, the surprise when the ant,
enjoying the sweetness of the honey,
creeps in to find the hot agony
embedded in the middle.
Cutting through the sweet outer shell
to find the trick
and true.
This is love.
It always come to this.
Always.
