“my mother
smiled
as she offered
a cube of
sugar
in her
upturned palm.
greedily,
i accepted.
i reached inside
my mouth,
delicately placing one
(just one)
on the center
of my tongue,
& i clamped
down.
salt.

knowing you are
going to get salt
but still hoping for sugar
for nineteen years.
- you may be gone, but i still have a stomachache.”

What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known?”
