The Chilli sauce and Ketchup at Jack's Place

The chilli sauce and ketchup met on Table 29 in Jack's place.

Standing side-by-side,
day-in-and-out,
in the dimly-lit restaurant,
with slightly too-cold air-conditioning...

It was hard for them to not to fall in love

Against the checked
green-and-white plastic table cloth,
they made an attractive
couple.

They longed for the next time
to be poured on or beside each other
on the same corner of a plate
or a dedicated saucer,
so that
they could swirl
into
one
another
and
make
hot
sweet
love.
