hitting the sauce in poetry

there is a hot sauce called “Dave’s Insanity Sauce”
it’s a really hot sauce
I got some in my contact lens, once
and I don’t eat Dave’s Insanity Sauce anymore, either
I tend to overcorrect after a mistake
I tend to err on the side of caution to the point of suffocation
it’s one of my charming little quirks
anyway

I had no idea there was more than one kind of
Dave’s Insanity Sauce
I didn’t realize there were flavours
I didn’t realize there were… degrees of insanity
friend of mine says her boyfriend collects them
has a rainbow panoply of Insanity Sauces
but where do you go from there
when you start at Insanity?

Dave’s Insanity Sauce.
Dave’s Double Insanity Sauce?
Dave’s Insanity Sauce Lite?
Dave’s Innocent By Means Of Insanity Sauce
Dave’s Permanently Institutionalized Sauce
Dave’s Clinical Depression Sauce
Dave’s Bi-Polar Disorder Sauce, No It Isn’t, Yes It Is
Dave’s Munchausen By Chipotle
Dave’s War Crime Sauce
Dave’s Systemic Oppression Sauce
Dave’s Genocide Sauce
Dave’s Genocide Sauce with a hint of lime
Dave’s Exactly Fourty-Three Chilis Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Sauce
Dave’s Hoarding Sauce, Collect Every Single Bottle Ever.
Dave’s Pika Sauce, Now With Iron Filings and Talcum Powder
Dave’s Agoraphobic Shut-In Sauce
Dave’s Suicidal Ideation Sauce

I don’t know.
Where do you go if you’re starting at Insanity?
And who the fuck is Dave?
He must be a real asshole.
