Lucid slathered up in cooking oil
.
blond hair a swinggin over the stove
.
singin' bouncin' legs
.
just cookin' in the kitchen
.
peppers by the dozens
.
tawny, lime, flushed peppers chop them up
.
grease splatter on the skin
red freckles splatter
.
licks her lips parched tongue
.
just a cookin' in the kitchen
.
slice dice peppers set up up in flame
.
don't worry bout me im just a cookin in the kitchen
.

honestly cooking with peppers makes your skin skizzle where the grease hits, makes your eyes water, and your mouth dry.
