sugar in the morning

I run out for paper and coffee
and two bagels.
it's early.
she's still asleep, and says
something like,
what time is it. she's groggy.
I kiss her on the cheek,
and say i'll be right back.
no sugar she says, as I
go down the steps.
to which I say, do you mean
sugar sugar, granulated
white sugar or the other
kind of sugar, all with a wink.
she laughs and says,
hurry back, before falling
quickly back to sleep.
