no sugar tonight

i used to have

a lot

of sugar in my cupboard,

and life,

but that's another story.

before i went

cookie and cake free 

i consumed a ton

of sugar,

refined sugar,

powdered sugar,

brown sugar,

sweet and low.

splenda and all the substitute

variations

sugar in bags, in boxes,

in little jars

with dainty spoons.

it's funny that once you

get sugar out of your

life, you no longer think

about it,

which circles me back

to you.
