that they haven't
had sugar
in any form for
over twelve years,
no a single spoonful,
not a packet,
not one lump to sweeten
their day.
and they're all
the better for it.
i look at them and smile
and think to myself.
maybe we should have
a parade.
it's been twelve minutes
for me, i say,
wiping the crumbs
of a donut
off my shirt, the chocolate
off my face.
